Great Place to work, but some Senior Leadership issues

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great environment, friendly employees, great benefits, focus on work-life balance, my Director is very helpful about my career goals and aspirations

Cons

Senior management is often out of touch with the employees and company as a whole; we are going through difficult financials times and the average workers have some great ideas; reorganizing the BU every 10 months will not resolve the issues

Great mission...you are making a difference

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid mission with great overall benefits package in a global multi-business unit organization that offers growth in a fast paced environment. A large number of the managers did not start in leadership roles.

Cons

The organizational structure is matrixed resulting in solid line, dotted line relationships that are not always effectively managed. Top/down communication is not stellar. Technology is slow moving for an organization of this size. Multiple reductions/outsourcing with more to come based on performance (the focus of the cuts not merit based)
