Pros

A very easy going/relax environment. Almost anyone can succeed in this company. Very friendly coworker. Almost no pressure at work. The company also tried to move to Agile but there are issues like most huge groups. Would recommend for someone to finish their career.

Cons

The paid is not the highest in the in the software world. The company is not the quickest to adopt new technology. But that is the nature of the process control industry.

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.
