Pros

-Depending on the group, good work environment. -Depending on the group, really variable work as in you might get to work on a bunch of different projects throughout the year. -Good work life balance, almost never worked more than 40 hours a week.

Cons

-Low pay compared to other companies in the area. -Average Benefits. -Old School thinking (if you're not in your chair working, you're not really working. Also working from home is insane!)

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.
