Pros: leader in many areas of their industry
Cons: benefits, low pay, poor leadership, excessive turnover, offshoring, layoffs, slow pace
I've been at Diebold a total of 3 years within the IT department and unfortunately the company, especially IT has steadily gown down the tubes. Between constant turnover at the executive level and going through re-orgs constantly, it's a very stressful atmosphere. Offshoring has become more and more frequent with all new jobs, and some existing jobs
– more... moving to India. Management, for the most part are lifers waiting for retirement. The newly appointed CIO is from a management consulting firm known for doing everything possible to take as much off the bottom line, primarily by reduction of US workforce. Another re-org is just around the corner and a lot of people are once again scared of losing their jobs. I myself am tired of having to look over my shoulder wondering when the next layoff will be. My advice is to stay clear of Diebold if you are an IT professional. Not just for the lack of job security, but also for the lack of innovative bleeding edge technology. There is more putting band-aids on super old systems than moving forward with new, exciting and much more reliable systems. Not all is bad however. There are some very smart, intelligent, and overall great people that work at Diebold. They are in the middle of planning the move to a new HQ in Green which is supposed to be state of the art. The benefits are okay, definitely not the best. Wages are good from management and above. The worker bees unfortunately are grossly underpaid. – less
