Pros

If you can deal with all the negative and bad morale, in the end the products we make are very good. It's just a lot of stress to get to that point.

Cons

Very bad morale. CEO has poor leadership skills, no people skills and has just been changing and then changing again without giving anything a chance to work. 10% of company (4000 people) being laid off this year. Employees left after layoffs are way overworked. Plans are to send most work to vendors but that will greatly detract from quality but no one seems to care, except the employees closest to developing the product which adds to the bad morale. No one seems to care about much and I think that's what makes people so discontented. Wants company to be digital but everything is done on a shoestring budget. Lots of people are leaving.

Pros

The people are great to work with. They bring innovation, commitment and creativity to everything they do.

Cons

The company is changing and there is no direction for the future. Layers of management are added and people that do the heavy lifting are let go. Those making the decisions for the greater company are so far removed from the products and the customers they are completely misinformed about what matters.
