Pros

Infusion of new, young talent has been invigorating to the company. Most of the employees are motivated to do a good job and most teams have a driven personality to accomplish the stated goals of the team(s).

Cons

Upper management has taken to being more concerned about short term shareholder value and the sector/business areas goals are significantly slanted to that. The new business philosophy has put a strain on the relationship between the company and their customer(s). Although the young talent has been invigorating to the business, upper management wants those younger employees to become the managers now and replace the older managers (read more expensive but certainly more experienced) to the detriment of the projects/programs involved.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
