Business Outlook

Pros

Good work ethics, decent salaries and overall good business stablity, but the mainstay business has become commoditized with single digit growth only. Great benefits. Good work/life balance. Still, really good people to work with on the front lines.

Cons

Lack of emphasis on training and cetification of employees' skills. No management support for career or project success. Can't do what you do best. Can't grow. Slow bureaucratic and reactionary. Outsourcing seen as a growing trend demoralizing those left. Those left are subjected to GE style "rank and yank" with quotas set for the "yank" category. Middle management embodies "inpenetrable clay layer" to bottom-up ideas and initiatives.

Pros

At first, the company had a good reputation for creating good medical products, upper management was a revolving door... benefits are good, Christmas party and people are great. pay is fair.

Cons

due to HQ control, there is no chance for local visibility, therefore people tend to leave the company.
