Pros

Great atmosphere in the office, with colleagues doing their best to help each other instead of competing against one another. Some useful technical trainings. Moderate benefits. Very good work - life balance, with flexible schedule for some positions. Overtime rarely necessary.

Cons

Salaries tend to be low and increase very little. Many useless but compulsory training sessions. Few career path choices for people without an engineering background.

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.
