Pros

Very family friendly management but you have to earn that by not taking advantage of that benefit. Company has been very appreciative of the hard work I've put into the job and likes to see employees that take the initiative of going above and beyond. That kind of attitude pays off in the long run.

Cons

The corporate world is painfully slow on making changes that make sense for the whole good of the organization. By the time they actually listen to their employees' good ideas, those employees get fed up and are snatched up by other companies who eagerly look for workers like that. People want to be successful so they take their great minds somewhere else and leave the corporation spinning wondering what happened.

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.
