Vantaggi
When I started the company was in a dynamic phase of acquiring new technology and other companies but lacked the vision on how to integrate the new companies and technologies. They brought in excellent people and for a while it was fun and dynamic. But then the reality of the costs came to bear and the promotion of petty individuals who in turn fired and ran off the others whom were competing for the job created a less savory environment.
Svantaggi
Management heavy, worker few. Working excessive hours leads to no real benefit for the employee. Management brought in schlumberger management rejects whom looked out for one another and seemed to think the employees whom did the actual work were the problem. Rinse and repeat. When hired, I knew more about a field than anyone else within the group and ended up teaching them. I went through 9 supervisors within 3 years and suffered from having to earn the trust/raises again and again. Ultimately I took the supervisor role and saw why the turnover was high. I lasted only 1.5 years which was longer than most in that role, before I had enough. Promises mean little. Little external support. Some sales employees are retained after over a year of 0 sales generated. An HR person told me I was a lesser candidate than my previous supervisor - I taught him the material. HR wore a hostile mask to cover their ineptitude. Organizational shake-up and reshuffling does not address actual issues nor does changing the title of the groups. The culture actually harmed many people's work ethic.
