Great team and innovative products but poor career management

Marketing

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good working environment and team. Interesting projects and very innovative products. Company with good ethical values and vision, reliable and secure.

Cons

Very hierarchical structure and political leads to very slow and centralized decisions. You lose a lot of time in meetings and processes and there is little incentive to new ideas (excessive bureaucracy). Lack of decisiveness and flexibility to local teams and heavy dependence on central structure. Career management and training nonexistent, professional recognition informal and not consistent.

Pretty good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good benefits package. Pay is decent.

Cons

Too many "chiefs" not enough "indians". Management could use classes in communication. Whole computer system desperately needs updating from hardware to software and definitely a local person who speaks the same language to help with problems.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company caters to specific customer needs. Very good in supplying specific adhesive films for electronic devices. The company has many opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Location is too far- 40 miles from home. Company has many locations since it is global but I wished they did not close down the plant located 15 miles from my home.
