Pros

colleagues generally are nice. Flexible time. Self time management. You are allowed to be independent.

Cons

You are on your own. There is nothing as such your boss recognise your potential and develop you. No praise/no promotion. You get out the same as what you came in regardless of how long you work, and how much you contribute. Unless you quit your job and look for internal opportunities then apply yourself.

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.
