Pros

Opportunities galore in terms of jobs, great flexibility in work arrangement for sales people, very often you meet nice people in the organization.

Cons

Does not really care about employees; focus is on shareholders only (not even on customers!). Relatively closed culture, un-competitive compensation packages attract and retain only middling talent, pays lip service to loads of real issues.

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.
