Cons
Technology is a hot mess, having grown through numerous acquisitions. Systems are outdated and dysfunctional. As a user, basic day to day tasks such as email, calendar, expenses and time off are a hassle to complete. As someone with administrative responsibilities, it is an extremely difficult environment to get anything done. The management structure is a mess, with dotted lines all over the place. All decisions have to be approved by numerous people. It's clear that senior management distrusts lower level management to make appropriate decisions. The issue is made worse by the frequency with which new management is hired from the outside, who lack the necessary background / knowledge to make the appropriate decisions. The result is a complete inability to get anything done. The place is a revolving door, at least in the regions.
