Extremely capable company, great people, but they've lost track of the importance of individuals

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great opportunities for those who seize them - Functional matrix system helps to deliver resources where clients need them - Tremendous, knowledgeable people who care about their jobs and will share their knowledge - Vast resources and capabilities

Cons

- Lower levels of management have significant responsibility but now authority - Systems for decision making and risk management get in the way of doing business - Employees get lost in the equation for major decisions, with employee retention having little value to the bean counters - Management gets so focused on performing for Wall Street each quarter that they undermine their own business model, undermine profits, and damage their reputation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of departments with different professional opportunities.

Cons

Parts of the company can be very premative, full of politics/competition between the different departments since they were acquired from different parts of the world at different times, the engineering design firm doesn't even provide employee with engineering design standards, many standard company policies are non existence in this Fortune 500 firm, policy could be provided by the HR staff on piece meal, ad-hoc basis under no formal decision making process, if it does exist, some of the policies are there to take advantage of staff.
