Pros

Good people overall. Decent working environment. I fully appreciated 90% of their management. Rewarding work, when done on the right projects. Relaxed atmosphere, accommodating work schedule. Decent benefits and incentives.

Cons

Compensation always felt under market price.

The buildings were getting dated and had certain smells and issues with the controls (ironic!).

Sometimes projects ended up on death marches to meet a date without consideration for how it affected people.

Doing the right thing sometimes was met with resistance or repercussions.

The review process was ridiculous and made me feel belittled for my accomplishments, as folks who had no idea what I did were part of the review process.

Global projects never felt in control.

Advice to Management

Show the value you place in your employees more.

Work smarter on how people are recognized and celebrated for their achievements in a year.

Create a more creative and fun atmosphere.
