Pros
Good benefit package and generous 401K. International footprint. Good "esprit de corps" amongst local staffs. Decent variety of available products in their portfolio.
Cons
Because of an impending IPO, employees are walking on eggshells for fear of rumored layoffs. The company is managed by spreadsheet and is completely out of touch with its specialty markets. The PP&S division's "leadership" doesn't provide adequate resources to field staff (despite repeated promises to do so), yet demands high performance. The second in command and other managers have created a chaotic atmosphere of unrealistic expectations based upon faulty intelligence, poorly defined goals and lack of a cohesive strategy and is wrought with micromanagement and excessive reporting.
