Svantaggi
-Many managers are unqualified and are in their position due to politics. If you have a bad manager at Cardinal, it can severely hinder your experience and career path. The number of bad managers and rampant poor management is a little alarming. -Most folks under the Director level are underpaid. This is not speculation, but can be compared to similar positions at comparable companies in the industry. -Communication and collaboration between teams is somewhat terrible. Granted, there have been efforts recently to remedy this, but when I left it was very much lacking. -Upper-level Execs are frequently given too much on their plate. Positions will get eliminated in an effort to save the company a bit of money, which results in one person taking on too much responsibility. This results in teams/products/etc suffering. -When the company is suffering financially, trying to find a new job internally is extremely difficult. -Top-level talent is currently leaving at a rapid rate -Whether they've had a great year or bad year, budget always seems to be very tight. Folks are constantly trying to solve problems or improve products/systems with no dollars, when in reality it's putting band-aids on severed limbs. -East Campus (Pharma) is much older/dated, while West Campus (Med) is new/modern
