Pros

Good benefits. Good learning opportunities. Encourages training. Vacation, sick time, holidays, floating holidays, 401k. Adoption assistance program. Flex spending account.

Cons

Lacks integrity. Doesn't follow their own policies. If you value bullies & deception, this is the company for you. Disabled persons who don't fit the company ideas of what disability looks like, are not welcome.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
