Pros
-I had a great team, but some colleagues had horrible ones. Like any large company it really matters who your boss is. -Great vacation package, starting out you get 4 weeks -Good work life balance -I got to travel a lot, which I liked, but I know isn't for everyone
Cons
-It's a large, inefficiently run matrix organization -People avoid ownership of their workstreams and try to put everything on product managers -To get anything done you need to get VP approval. Managers and Directors have no real authority to execute their strategies -The CEO said he isn't worried about Amazon, but Amazon is going to put them out of business -It's a distribution company that's trying to be a manufacturing company, and it does not have the capabilities -The engineering department is completely ineffective and doesn't deliver products on-time, on-budget, or with the design requirements outlined by marketing. Overall, engineering is worthless, need to outsource everything.
