Doesn't walk the talk

Pros

Good corporate values, but not embraced by some departments. Great experience working for a global company. Great interaction with people all over the globe. On-site health facility. Great resources for diverse employees, but could do more. Pay decent.

Cons

Seemed like employees were overloaded with work. Work/life balance questionable. Heavy reliance on contractors and agencies shows lack of care for employees. Mid-management level not skilled in managing people. Often promoted because of high skill level in field, but not able to manage people well. Motivate through stick not carrot approach. Employees not given appropriate resources to do their jobs well. Environment not friendly in some departments. Sometimes an overly-corporate feel without compassion and understanding. Not innovative like they promote. Stuck in old ways of doing things. Not progressive. Feeling that employees are not valued. Consumer marketing to customers often somewhat misleading. Doesn't value employee feedback. Non-collaborative in some departments. Little to no budget for initiative that are supposed to be a priority. Support from management non-existent. Lack of opportunities for professional development. Lack of proper planning/goals in some departments. Roadblocks that make it cumbersome to do job.

Pros

The work is varied and challenging. I get to work with some very smart and engaging people.

Cons

Opportunities are highly dependent on who you know. IT as an organization is broken, very management heavy and not enough people to actually do the work. IT and the business just do not work well and much of it is the fault of senior IT management who are focused on what they want to instead of what the business needs.

Pros

Team members are great, very safety conscious,

Cons

Work Life balance is a joke, if your machine is down you live on site. Job perks and special benefits are reserved for Roswell and Neenah, production sites are pretty much ignored. HUGE divide between leadership and engineering. Leadership seems focused on their own plans and motivating the hourly employees, engineers are basically swept under the rug. No upward mobility, career moves are all lateral.
