Vantaggi
Good communication from management that is generally much more open than most companies, Generally a good work / life balance though this can vary greatly depending on your specific role and business group.
Svantaggi
Performance management is very poor. Goals and expectations are not really set for the next year. The year begins in March, its now Oct and our group is just considering goal setting now..6 months into the year. Lots of cost pressures and outsourcing going on..both out of country and consolidation at EP. SVU has been very late to the outsourcing game. Reward for performace is very low. U meet expectations - get a 3% raise. U slog the whole year and get an exceeds expectations with substantial more effort - get a 4% raise! Big deal!
