Pros

Some of my coworkers were up to date with the latest software technologiess and industry standard SDLC practices.

Cons

Multiple people, including senior leadership, referenced the stock price as an indicator of employment. When the stock price falls, people get laid off and vice versa. Sure macro events absolutely impact businesses, but employees and business models should not be short term resources. If a business model is sound it will weather through ups and downs. Layoffs will happen sure, but telling an impacted employee "I'm sure you've seen the stock price" in an exit interview is, IMO, indicative of poor hiring and planning

Pros

Robert Half gives more recruiting tools than you could ever use, RPS, LinkedIn, job postings, AI, Zoom Info, etc... They spend their money investing back into the company.

Cons

They don't give any stock options or even the ability to purchase stock at a discount. It's a publicly traded firm without a key benefit most associate with that.
