Pros
It is a large global company with some challenging issues that can be a good opportunity to elarn.
Cons
-very poor ownership group with short term strategy -declining company performance -wasteful, lack of control over discretionary spending at the top -poor compensation, especially the bonus plan which is tied to company performance -low morale and significant turnover -poor project management -unclear strategy -poor tone at the top -outdated systems -few opportunities for career growth This company used to have leadership and a clear sense of direction. The company really took a turn for the worse when Erik Fyrwald became CEO in May 2012.
