Pros

Hard working and decent professionals work in some departments and are trying to hold things together despite corporate downsizing their staff. Crain has pretended to shift to AI, leading to employees having to pick up the work of their missing teammates.

Cons

Raises and bonuses are rare and don’t keep up with inflation. Terrible health care plan and culture around health care that shames employees for using their policies.
