Pros
- Relatively competitive salary - Decent bonus (but based too much on overall versus inidvidual success) - Good employees to work with overall - Variety of positions to experience (if one can get to them) - Excellent company and corporate resources (which are unfortunately underutilized) - Very safety conscious - Solid, conservative organization financially (for Wall Street's liking)
Kontras
- Managers rather than true effective leaders. Relatively competent leadership is stymied with overwork, stonewalling and broken promises by insecure managers above them - Executives - financial versus sales/marketing backgrounds - Extremely risk-averse - Paralysis by extreme analysis - agonizingly slow in making decisions - Too enamored with itself - Extreme internal focus versus concentration on the marketplace - Promote customer value with actions proving otherwise - Good products, ineffective marketing
