Pros

Previous senior management created an environment that retained talent and made you feel like you'd want to stay for a long time. Good health insurance but can be expensive Depending on where you work, some mid-level managers really do care I've learned a lot about process and company politics

Cons

Investing in current employees has decreased greatly Lots of outsourcing / off-shoring Company focus used to be on health care - now it's all about pleasing the stock holders

Very political environment, where very low talented people get to much power.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great values and very good reputation on market.

Cons

Very political. Has too many lower talented people in very important positions, driving the company not by strategy or market reality, but just to show off a good image to their bosses. Innovation has no existence inside the company and just mentions of the word causes panic and fear of change. This company doesn't like any change. The world has to stop evolving for them to feel safe.
