Pros

Allows full time remote work

Cons

Multiple rounds of layoffs and huge turnover in just a year and a half. There is a huge disconnect between corporate and everyone else. Decisions are made at the very top and when those don't work out well, corporate doesn't listen to anyone outside headquarters why it didn't work. Similarly, in my department, every single issue went all the way up to a VP before a decision was made and management inbetween was too timid to take action or responsibility. The VP then only heard the two sentence summary of it after being passed up the line. So, they would make the "correct but only on paper" decision that ultimately ignores the nuance of the problem at hand and makes it worse.

Pros

Flexible hours, good pay, work with minimal oversight

Cons

Focus on DEI, promoting women and minorities rather than based on Merit. Rate of turnover in management so high that many managers have little understanding of the explosive/chemical business fundamentals. Consistently restructure every 2-3 years often laying off experienced employees.
