Business outlook
Pros
Corporate mission, products that enhance lives, good reputation, co-workers. Peers are supportive in helping address problems and sharing knowledge and experience. Flexible work hours.
Cons
Seeming "good ol' boy" mentality with middle management; difficult to navigate career growth via upward mobility or cross-transfer between business units . . . incongruent with what is preached by management. Some management seem very false/disingenuous in persona and in interaction with direct reports. HR is as useful as HS guidance counselors relative to career advice. Risk averse; innovation by acquisition. Cumbersome policies to drive objectives and product development.
