Pros

Good benefits. Five words required but that’s it.

Cons

3 restructurings in a year, transformation is a joke, lip service to culture but it’s terrible. Brought up issues with 4th manager in a year and was put on a PIP the next week. Finance leaders better at playing corporate politics than turning an accurate forecast in. Never been so relieved to leave an org.

CEO got stock down to $5 ps in the last year hired 64 VPs and closing plants to pay for them hired a 3rd party to tell him what to do because he doesn't have a clue how to run a business Spent millions on useless software
