Pros
  • Engineering focused.
  • Innovative culture, although this has a dark side as well (duplication of effort and inefficiency).
  • Compensation higher than industry average.
Cons
  • Not perceived as a great place to work.
  • Behaves like a cluster of competing business units.
  • High inconsistency in skill level depending on business units.
  • Needs to pay attention to employee "intangibles" -- i.e. make it a GREAT place to work, ala Google.
  • Senior management seems disconnected from reality.
  • IT policies are a drag.
Advice to Management

Senior management seems disconnected from reality.

Pay attention to your employees.

Make sure you hire and retain the best talent (this does not seem to be happening in many business units).
