Pros

Products and people are great. Most employees don't want to leave the company because of the people they work with everyday. The products are worth getting behind and are high quality

Cons

There is no long term plan or company objective other than "make money" and "keep the customer happy." There is no strategy for doing that. Managers are unable to keep up with the changing technology and their own people striving to use new tools and be better at their jobs. They discredit innovation because they don't understand and chose not to understand it.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
