Pros

Talented dedicated people doing great work. Great mission - sustainability, life safety - things really to believe in and admire. Teamwork and respect within my group. Really interesting work.

Cons

Constant cuts in budgets and staffing. Budgets usually did not make it past the first month of the fiscal year. Perpetual layoffs and instability with workload devolving upon those left - people are typically covering 2-3 jobs and most teams I worked with were cut by at least half within the last year. Restructure / reorgs are constant, literally. Org never settles long enough between changes to find a groove. As a result of the cuts and pressure, manufacturing, delivery, quality and service delivery were all suffering. I saw very low morale and a sense of powerlessness across the global teams I interacted with. People I knew felt that performance is irrelevant and you'll be dropped at any moment to meet a number no matter how good you are or how much work you were covering.

Pros

Interesting work, regional and international opportunities

Cons

Management since 2013 has only been interested in stock price and cost cutting to bolster stock price. Not interested in product investment or innovation. Answer for most issues was to fire someone.
