Great colleagues but lack of effective leadership

Business outlook

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.

Pros

It’s a good job and has an opportunity to grow

Cons

Current managers are useless unfortunately. They only hire and promote people they know rather than the real talent . They love blocking others from advancing and are systematically destroying the company with bad hires . Product managers at perten are not serious. Not only oblivious but also careless! Competitors are taking the business and it’s a consequence to hiring people with no experience

Pros

Benefícios minimamente decentes, considerando o mercado em São Paulo capital.

Cons

Gerência desorganizada a todos os níveis: times, regiões, países, global. Cultura de ignorar e perpetuar problemas processuais amplanente conhecidos. Maturidade em processos envolvendo dados inexistente. "Suporte" de TI meramente decorativo. Incompatibilidade entre demandas, prazos, infraestrutura fornecida e especificidade de definição de cargos.
