Really a Great Place to Work

Pros

Great worklife balance, lots of flexible work programs, people are genuinely HAPPY who work here. Great mission --- how can you not love "always learning" --- helping people improve their lives through innovation. Opportunities for international short/long term assignments. Great employee discounts. VERY collaborative environment --- real access to the most senior management. Pervasive passion about what we do! Great Jive site for internal collaboration

Cons

Severely outdated technology -- for heavens sake most of the people are on MS Windows 2003/2007. Computers outdated and overextended when due for ugrades. Unbelievable for a company who claims to be "digital". No career/HIPO development or tracking --- it's up to you! Thankfully I"m good at that. Org structures/ways of working are 20 years outdated. Willingness to address poor performers/deadwood --- we are TOO decent.
