Pros

The rank and file are some of the best, hardworking people I've ever worked with. Compensation seems on par or better for the area, good benefits.

Cons

The company tries to roll out initiatives and improve the culture, but there can be no improvement since the toxic culture comes from the very top. The CEO gives lip service to things like diversity, work/life balance and things like that, but his actions show that he actually doesn't care about any of it. He's created an atmosphere of fear and backstabbing and has surrounded himself with yes-men (and women) who are eager to do his bidding and will throw anyone under the bus to do it. Overpaid VPs do jobs that no one can explain. Meanwhile, the employees actually doing the work are either laid off or are leaving for greener pastures. Everyone is squeezed and forced to work long hours with no recognition or appreciation. In fact, the harder we work, the harder we're driven by management.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
