Pros

There was a lot to like about the job and work atmosphere. For young, single employees, the 70% travel was great...half of that travel was to Europe. There is a gym on campus as well as a cafeteria....there are plenty of opportunities to advance (if you are willing to move).

Cons

If you are not willing to move, then there are severe limitations on climbing the ladder. The travel does get exhausting after a while. The work is primarily compliance and can get boring quick.

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.
