Pros

Solid history and stable company

Cons

The company has embraced wokeness as a business strategy, not necessarily as a social advocacy except at a superficial level. Along the way to so called social reform they have silenced and minimized those with conservative perspectives. Freedom of speech and expression is not available to all.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
