Vantaggi

1.) Good work/life balance. 2.) Close to public transportation.

Svantaggi

1.) The majority of management is not qualified for the positions they hold. 2.) As a result of #1 Kodak hires people for critical non-management positions who are clearly not qualified, incompetence is pervasive. 3.) Everything from management policies to product code bases are a total mess. No one can clearly tell you what the process is for deploying software upgrades, what the QA process is for product lines, and management has no clue about the software development life-cycle or how to apply it to their product lines. 4.) It was very clear from the first day I started the job Kodak has every intention of outsourcing all of their development work to Israel and China they just haven't worked out how to do it yet for some divisions. If you are hired as a software developer for Kodak, you are only a stop gap until they outsource your job. I was fortunate enough to find other employment but I would have been better off not working there at all.

Vantaggi

To be fair, there are smart, capable people here, and the Kodak name still opens doors. But culture and execution matter more than branding. Without clarity, trust, and leadership engagement, even good ideas struggle. I don’t regret the experience as it was instructive. But if you’re considering joining, ask very specific questions about role boundaries, feedback cadence, and how decisions actually get made. Don’t confuse constant motion with real progress.

Svantaggi

Working at Kodak was an eye opening experience in how large, legacy organizations try to reinvent themselves while still dragging along all the habits that made reinvention necessary in the first place. It often felt like roles were constantly shifting, ownership was unclear, and people were operating on instinct rather than alignment. There was a lot of activity, plenty of meetings, and very little agreement on who actually owned what. One colleague in particular somehow ended up doing several jobs at once. That may sound impressive, but in practice it created confusion and friction. When one person tries to be everything, it leaves everyone else in an awkward and unnecessary position.Leadership was mostly absent until it wasn’t. There was also a noticeable top down culture. Certain personalities didn’t invite discussion so much as compliance. Offering alternative viewpoints wasn’t encouraged, and collaboration tended to flow in one direction. Confidence often crossed into condescension, which made an already challenging environment harder than it needed to be.
