Pros
MeadWestvaco corporation is a stable company with a strong balance sheet. The employee base is diverse and skilled, and it has done a good job at reengineering it'self to become a global leader in end-to-end packaging solutions. The company stresses their code of conduct, respect for the individual, and results based objectives in order to create economic profit for the employees and shareholders.
Cons
During the economic downturn, mid-senior level managers are primarily interested in their own business performace, rather than mentoring mid-career executives and working with cross function SBU's to align on strategy as one MWV. Competition between executives seems professional yet many times we're competing with each other in the marketplace.
