Pros
Pretty good benefits, big name
Cons
There is no investment in you as an employee. They can leave you in a niche for years without caring about your growth. There’s a large culture of stagnation and “we’ve always done it this way”. No real innovation happens. Another really glaring problem is the fact that they’ll never let you go, no matter how terrible of an employee you are. You can be a parasite who contributes nothing and still be on the payroll as long as you keep your head down. There’s no long term vision. Upper management expects you to get things done but there’s not a culture of planning for the future so people’s jobs are less cluttered and less about fire fighting. Instead, there’s constant finger pointing and knee jerk reactions to problems that can be solved if leadership would only put the initial investment to implement technology or training that will contribute to long term growth and not just band-aids. It is truly a shame that a company with such a magnificent legacy is run this way.
