Pros

Work-Home life seem to be very balanced in this company (and even more-so depending on your boss). Vacation accumulates fairly quickly. They like to keep individuals in house, it is easy to move up the ladder here.

Cons

The HR staff here moves slower than any HR group that I have ever worked with before! The salaries at times can seem to be a little less competitive.

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.
