Pros

Some of the product and manufacturing people are very passionate about the brand and heritage. Impressive new building.

Cons

Far too few people actually doing the work. Too many chiefs (VP-level and higher) and not enough indians. Model variants have exploded; product portfolio needs to be shrunk by 50 percent.

Great brand, Terrible leaders

Pros

It seems to pay well, but then they have poor benefits, a bad working atmosphere, poor culture, and high turnover so its a bit of a bait and switch.

Cons

Terrible leaders, mismanagement of talent, high turnover, policies that reflect their lack of commitment to retention and growth. This is a churn and burn workplace.
