Long standing company, lucrative by default

Pros

Global company, you will meet a great deal of great people. Compensation is more than fair.

Cons

The company has so much room for improvement, many opportunities but employees don't know how to get to them. Company does not have a hire from within culture. They sit on talent too long, the market is competitive and have lost many to the competition. "Old boys club" type of culture, where there is absolutely NO diversity in upper management. Women don't stand a chance at this organization. Friends hire friends or family members instead of qualified talent.

Business Outlook

Pros

Base salary is competitive, office environment is clean and organized, office location is nice and quiet, good colleagues. Work life balance can be manageable (at least in my function/team)

Cons

Health insurance is really bad (both in coverage and premium costs), multi national expectations of employees but mom and pop management style, seems like you have to be Swiss if you want to move up, too much politics in local upper management who love power plays, short term goals override everything else.

Worst Company to work with

Account manager - ni sales

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing for Pros as such..

Cons

Comapny is flooded with cons.. Enormous sales pressure, no support from installation team..for every sales order and its after sales support, the concerned sales executive is responsible whether its the installation fault or anyone's else, sales person is responsible for everything. Apart from sales pressure, sales people are responsible for collection, drawing approval, ratings, handover etc etc..dont understand why they have kept other departments if only sales person has to do everything and is answerable to top management. Bad market reputation, attrition rate of employees is very high..no or nill job satisfaction, no job and family balance.
