Pros

The employees, at least those who are still there...

Cons

- NA leadership has very little experience. - The installation of Lean principles into the sales force. - Company morale is in the tank and no one at the top cares. - The company is incapable of collecting it's AR, consistently. - Continued mass exodus of leaders who know what they're doing. In summary: New NA CEO is destroying the company. During your interview, ask why so many of the NA executives have left in the last 12 months. The product quality is suspect and they're trying to drive Lean principles into the wrong parts of the organization. Do yourself a favor, stay away!

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
