Pros

Empowerment, Competent people, ample opportunities for playing diverse roles Empowerment - Generally people at all levels are encouraged to make decisions and that help them to grow in confidence and become leaders.

Cons

Complaceny in folks who have been with the organization for long time - unfortunately they are in critical roles. Also few in organization buy collective failure or collective success philosphy. The organizaition tends to bury individuals based on a failure that discourages assocaites to take risks. We have not matured enough to integrate talent that we recruit laterally ande from business schools. Almost every lateral I know went thro' integration and acceptance challenges.

Pros

This is a good company to work for. They are a strong company and get stronger every year. It has a lot of high quality technicel people on staff. The benefits package is very good compared to other companies. They also encourage their employees to lean new skillsets and obtain certifications. The online training / acadamey they have is great. Lots of information for almost any skillset you would like to learn.

Cons

Overall it's a good company. It's a global company with a lot of offshore resources in india. At times the communication barrier is something that can become very frustrating. Also due to the global scope of the company, sometime the time difference for meetings can have you working odd hours.
