Great products, terrible leadership

Pros

Good products. Great industry, although highly competitive. Love many aspects of my job. Benefits not as good as they used to be but still strong. Pay if competitive, but also not as good as it was.

Cons

I've never heard of a company that cared less about its peoples morale. There's no mentoring or rewards for being successful unless you're in the field. And even there the compensation keeps getting cut back. Many aspects about my specific role I really like, but have no faith in the direction we're going and the people leading us there. Just trying to outlive current management. HR is an embarrassment as well. Would rather not get into details here but just ask ask anyone in the know.

Pros

Travel (for some) Good if you're pro active and don't wait to be told what to do If you like minimal management involvement ith your work or projects, this place will suit Lyon just fine.

Cons

Since the Blackstone takeover, management have become cut throat and see employees as a commodity. Draconian and unprofessional HR department (particularly in the UK) High levels of cronyism and nepotism among senior management. Long hours with very little appreciation for the effort you put in. Big blame culture and character assassination rife Your face has to fit; it can be very difficult to work here if you don't make the right connections Lots of sales people who feel they rule the world because they make a lot of money

Pros

Benifits are great and the yearly bonus was always in the 12 to 14% range.

Cons

Biased review process, based off of Managers opinion with no feed back from coworkers. Lot of micromanageing.
