Pros

good work life balance because its easy to get away with poor quality work as no one demands any better. good brand name in some regions and thats about it

Kontras

There is zero training and development - don't believe what the website says, talent management is a joke and is all about internal politicking. Upper management has no vision, and regurgitates visions from other major multinationals. There is zero marketing savvy, strategic vision, or even operational discipline. However the company refuses to acknowledge its faults as bearers of bad news are often ostracized, and people who couch the truth are rewarded. This is a company that is truly lost, manages to attract talent based on the heritage of the brand, but almost all good talent leaves within the first one or two years, (sometimes even within months) once the reality of shoddy management becomes apparent. This is a company that has had zero growth in a decade, posted negative shareholder returns, and undergone 3-4 major reorganizations in as many years.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Kontras

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
