Pros
Many people I enjoyed working with and even for.
Cons
* Corporate budgeting is a waste of time. They do not spend money anyway because they are so far in debt, despite the fact that their employees have made promises to customers based on already approved expenditures. When the time comes to pull the trigger, it is not done. * Corporate leadership is comprised of accountants and salesmen, none of which actually seems to know anything about the actual manufacture of anything the company produces. Business units were managed "by spreadsheet" with no real communication solicited or listened to. * Growth through acquisition only actually works if you buy companies that will compliment your core competencies or give you new ones relevant to your target market. Also, purchasing ones that are highly leveraged when you do not have a cash surplus and your credit rating and name on Wall Street are trashed? Probably not the brightest idea ever. Yeah, stock has dropped by half in the last year.
