Pros

Challenging and interesting projects and smart people to work with. Good life and work balance. Internationally renowned and well-respected company in the industry. Good opportunity to learn new things, especially for young professionals.

Cons

Morale is low, very low. Constant drives to reduce costs, so travel constraints and layoffs. Leadership is not making important and tough decisions swiftly. Opportunities get lost when nobody dares to stand out, make the call, and is willing to take the responsibility. From time to time, re-orgs happen, like big-bang, back and forth.

Advice to Management

Too many senior professionals holding leadership roles are mostly serving as messengers between hands-on folks and key stakeholders. We need to assure employees of the company's future and reinstall faith and confidence in the company.
