Pros

A good working environment where they let you do your job without high pressure. Pay is fair to good, they have nice people that I worked with. R&D is well equipped to to do your job.

Cons

It’s a good old boys club when it comes to promotions or job advancement, a lot of politics, no loyalty. I was with the company for over twenty years, developed many successful products for the company. When Covid 19 hit, it gave Callaway a great excuse to eliminate long time employees or if a manager just didn’t like you. Some very good managers , some were awful. During the layoff HR was flat out mean. A whooping 6 week severance pay if you were there for three months or twenty five years. I’m older around 60, so looking for work at my age has been impossible, can’t even get a interview, so basically I’ve been thrown into early retirement.
