Pros

Nicely remodeled HQ campus. Hiring smart people. Former CEO stepped down in January. Social campaign makes it look like great place to work. Investment in technical training.

Cons

Unprofessional culture - Senior Executive(s)/Chairman are inappropriate in language and behavior on stage at company/family events and town halls. Naivety + arrogance at the top is killing the company. Constantly changing strategy, direction - drives continuous reorg and retrenchment. Culture of entrenched silos, politics, protectionism. Averse to change and risk, stuck in outdated thinking, silence new ideas . Top execs reward and promote long service, loyalty, and blind allegiance over competence; many smart and strong minded employees leave frustrated, or the organization pushes them out. Diversity and inclusion non-existent, and led by top exec behaviors; cannot be solved with an HR program or task force.
