Pros

It was at the time a good alternative to working for my employer that was going through bankruptcy...

Cons

Concur with the assertion that management has adopted the "kiss up", "excrement down" philosophy to keep themselves in good standing with their masters. HR is about as big a waste of money that Woodward could be spending money on. After months of trying to tap into them as a way to mitigate the total lack of ethics of my management, they actually were surprised that I was leaving!

Pros

Great with previous leadership. But then...

Cons

New leadership is not as dedicated to employees as previous (although bonuses have been better). New middle management there is a lot of nepotism. Once a stable company, layoffs have been a common occurrence since COVID.
