Business outlook
Pros
Good, down to earth people with no pretensions. Smart and like able. Descent amount of global spread so options to work abroad if you choose ( and are found fit for position).
Cons
Sourcing and Procurement. That's 70% of work that's done here. Make no mistake about it. Very little corporate strategy or market entry or org restructuring. Of 7 projects that I worked on 6 of them were long sourcing projects - IT, chemicals, paper products. This work is not stimulating and builds no useful skill. I had to leave before my prior technology skills were completely eroded and I become unhireable by anyone. I fear that's the reason many long time ATK employees are still there-- all they know is sourcing!
