Lack of Leadership and Loyalty

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

One big perk is working remotely...in an effort to cut expenses the company has aggressively pushed many employees to work from home. This may not be ideal for everyone, but I found it a great way to manage the work-life balance.

Cons

Ongoing waves of cost-cutting in the form of layoffs. It started about a year ago and continues. I have seen many senior people with long tenures unceremoniously get shown the door. There is a significant institutional brain-drain going on and the executive leadership team is no longer company/industry veterans who understand the business and the marketplace.

Great Turmoil and Downsizing

Anonymous employee

Pros

Some of the business leaders - two levels from CEO - are very good and want to do the right things. After Hurricane Sandy, they finally understand importance of being able to work from home

Cons

Many many changes without a clear plan to accomplish all that is needed to get stability. The go to answer is just reduce headcount. Over the years, they keep cutting and cutting without fixing processes, skills, etc. HR is a joke. They recently gave the top spot to someone who has only been at AIG and is quoted as saying she would rather manage by fear rather than be respected. Not the type of leader you want to lead HR. Being up her butt is the way to get ahead. In business, it is definitely a "good old boys network." Diversity and Inclusion is a joke. Leaders give it such lip service.

Red Tape Overload

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

People most of whom try their very best to deliver despite obstacles. Scale of company gives exposure not available at national or smaller firms

Cons

Bureaucratic, disorganised, slow decision making, highly political, not collaborative, focus on short term only so bonus achieved, managers with worst behaviour tend to be promoted they manage up very well, those that know their stuff get overlooked or move companies, seem to implement then change approach & reverse every few years, or fail to deliver a critical step but expect teams to function
