Pros

Overtime compensation, competitive salary offering, competitive benefits, extensive training opportunities both internal and through external vendors. Colleagues generally have a good attitude. Attention given to work and life balance, and having fun regularly with BBQ, borrels, and other events. Upward mobility if you are interested in it. Nice recognition and development plans available, and the company is always improving. The tools to get your job done are generally provided.

Cons

Complex global organization that can sometimes be difficult to navigate to find the right people you need. Work processes are regularly being redefined and adjusted, which can cause some communication troubles, but mostly these are improving in the right direction.

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.
