Pros

Excellent world-wide market served in controls and sensors, considered highest quality and reliability by customers. Large established customer base. Business units seem to be run conservatively, making financial numbers and without large swings in workforce. Seem to be gaining market share. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Currently in a down market since some business is sensitive to crude oil prices. Customers (large automation facilities, like oil wells and refineries) move slowly over decades, so using latest technology that is not well proven is not a high priority.

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.
