Pros

Overall great organization, friendly atmosphere

Cons

Politics play a big part of where you go in this company. Too much emphasis on procedure. Need to have more breathing room to make a difference.

Pros

Technology has provided flexibility in location of work. It is easy to work in virtual teams where necessary. It is a global company which provides an opportunity to experience business on a global stage. Innovative engineering has allowed the company to stay current and relevant in a challenging environment.

Cons

Senior management is completely out of touch with the business. IT Project work is driven solely by timeline, not by business need and complexity; with the concessions always being made on quality in order to meet deadlines. The end result is a sloppy environment that is always at least a step behind in its agility to meet changing business needs. The trend toward offshoring even project management is putting the company at a long term disadvantage in terms of its institutional knowledge. Very little attention paid to the employee in the trenches. Advancement is predicated on whether or not you have jumped through the hoops that they see as relevant. Outside of the Six Sigma framework, your successes go completely unnoticed. To that end; if you complete Six Sigma projects (administrative), you will be heralded a hero even if the projects themselves are largely unsuccessful in the long run. There is no follow up on the projects. Thus, the company claims savings that it truly has not realized. Smoke and mirrors is the predominant theme.

Pros

Flexibility in career advancement to different functions, open door policy is good to promote open communications with senior management, mentor program is also helpful

Cons

Complicated internal working process made things harder to change, six-sigma oriented, therefore, all projects need to design to six sigma although it may not be necessary
