Pros

Very broad field of expertize, giving the chance to grow a career. Possibilities to promote to a leader role, if you got the chance to have a manager who is willing to coach you and support through the very first steps in this direction.

Cons

Company is very focused on costs (trainings, high cost country vs best cost country) Has dificulties to keep a competitive salary level, somethimes resulting in loosing employees with potential.

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.
