Pros

A great enviroment for learning, with bosses who generally are understanding,. There is work life balance, with not too much stress, unless there are datelines. If you have to travel, you won't get to travel in budget airlines

Cons

Mediocre salary, with annual increment of 2.5 to 5% and variable bonus at about 1 month only for past 2 years despite having highest ever sales, few out of office team bonding or recreational events

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.
