Pros
- Salaries are typically a little above average. - In general, non-management employees tend to be pretty nice folks and fairly honest.
Cons
- Its NEVER about achieving anything - its all about the bureaucracy (or "processes" as they call it). - Always a Lord / Serf relationship between management and employees. - Conflicting "metrics" and management promoted contempt continuously pit one business unit against the other. - Executives and "The Board" go to ANY length to create a public perception of Global Saviors of Mankind at the expense of their employees. - A diesel engine company whose leaders have ZERO passion for diesel engines - the elder "gearheads" have left and have been replaced by typical public corporation management. - "Benefits" are much worse than average. - 90% of your day will consist of feeding the bureaucratic machine. - Rarely will they "fire" anyone....instead, they have regular layoffs to get rid of people that don't fit the "culture". - If tremendous profits are deemed "not enough" by the "shareholders", you will go without (supplies, resources, raises, bonuses, employment, benefits, etc.). - Treatment of their employees contrasts the culture and values that they "publish" to the world.
