      Pros

      Excellent benefits Competitive salary Bonus that is actually paid out Company is attempting to change, becoming more process-oriented with modern systems

      Cons

      Company culture has become fairly toxic. Most people are unhappy, and those who are laid off seem to be relieved. BIS (IT) management in particular is very shortsighted, and don't seem to be operating in reality (i.e. don't acknowledge how long it takes and how many resources to deliver major projects). Functional leadership is very political, and the average employee can got caught in the crosshairs. Stay far far away from this company for now, maybe the new CEO will make some positive changes.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefit package and generous 401K. International footprint. Good "esprit de corps" amongst local staffs. Decent variety of available products in their portfolio.

      Cons

      Because of an impending IPO, employees are walking on eggshells for fear of rumored layoffs. The company is managed by spreadsheet and is completely out of touch with its specialty markets. The PP&S division's "leadership" doesn't provide adequate resources to field staff (despite repeated promises to do so), yet demands high performance. The second in command and other managers have created a chaotic atmosphere of unrealistic expectations based upon faulty intelligence, poorly defined goals and lack of a cohesive strategy and is wrought with micromanagement and excessive reporting.
