      Pros

      Good place to work if you want to get in touch with other industry minds and network from there. Lots of brilliant and talented people to work with.

      Cons

      Almost no personal growth. Any promotions available are micromanaged by the most useless HR department ever created. Almost all new engineering functions are done overseas and most production either has or is being transitioned to Mexico.

      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.
