Pros

Communication flow is good. Senior management as far information flow is concerned are good at sending information.

Cons

Large business - lack of focus in terms of area responsibility. Areas of responsibility are not as defined as they could be. Use of talent pool is also slightly lacking.

Pros

Benefits are on par with other electronics corps this size. Middle management is good--they try to convey as much information as possible to keep us in the loop. However, since decisions are made on a nationwide scale, much gets lost in translation. Work teams/divisions are kept small and rapport is good.

Cons

It is a huge worldwide corporation. Executive decisions come from all over the United States. So, communication could be better. Salaries could be higher/competitive. For awhile, we were underpaid--they need to keep up with United States salary norms. Professional development is sometimes pushed to the side. Opportunities to tele-commute should be looked at.
