Pros

The managers were very nice, they gave opportunities to employees to try many types of work. And every overtime can be paid by money or day off.

Cons

The marketing team did not adopt the advise from engineer about what product funtions are useful and what are useless, they just plan the product line according to particular customers' request before they pay for the bill. So we seldom had big orders.

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.
