Pros

The Florham Park, NJ location was an excellent place to work, full of vibrant and competent engineers and managers who wanted you to succeed.

Cons

My boss was seriously chauvinistic, to the point where it became clear my gender was going to prohibit advancement. I repeatedly introduced ideas that were shot down, only to be adopted when suggested by a male colleague.

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.
