Global, Adrenaline rush, overloaded
Pros: The business really is trying to do the right things for the world (in alignment with making shareholders profits). The techies really do share information (at my lower level) and help each other out. The lower management really does care about their employees.
Cons: Very strong push for hardware to do more with less - that means layoffs, no promotions. But more projects. I think they're trying to get rid of the older generation to be able to hire more new (and cheaper) blood. Might be the right move for them....I'm getting tired of the long hours and nonstop sense of urgency. Hardware is commoditized now, run by project managers. Little left to actually invent.
