Pros

good for people with specific diversities & worst for rest of the pack. If you are one of those protected diversities you can climb the ladder very fast. I have seen people getting elevated to VP position just because of being X or Y . and Company takes pride in fluanting diversity awards than poor performance of leadership that is interested in showing wrong forecasts to Wall Street & then blame on Markets

Cons

- Company is in search of Strategy and Employees in getting out of tr sinking Ship - Poor vision -Leadership talk & talk & talks about values without performing but still gets away without stick -Blind HR -Slow speed to maket. Engineering takes forever to take the product to market & when it comes it reflects poor quality -Politics. Stick as a personal servant to leadership and you will become director

Pros

Annual performance reviews are given and tracked by department to ensure the system was accessed. Good place to work for 10 - 12 years

Cons

Although the system was accessed there is absolutely no control over what is documented by your manager for your performance - no checks and balances. In addition, the performance reviews are NOT used when the directors gather to rank all exempt employees. Gut feel over the last few interactions are used. You can easily be ranked low against your peers and no one will protect you and you will not find out how you were secretly ranked until your merit paper is given to you. SURPRISE. Make sure you suck up to the Directors and your immediate manager. After 10-12 years you may be considered less 'shiny' than the new pennies that are brought in. A dull penny is easily discarded.

Pros

Good place to begin your career. Despite being in a sink or swim environment with very little training, you can and will learn a lot. Advancement is about who you know and how you are "perceived."

Cons

There is no equality in following policies. Some employees are allowed to do certain things and others are not. Employees are scared to utilize the corporate hotline because of the possible backlash but the company prides itself on treatment of others. The pay is well below average salaries for similar positions. Lots of favoritism, which can literally stop any and every attempt at advancement.
