Pros

First several years I loved it, thought I would be there forever. Exciting projects.

Cons

I left early 2021 because I did not trust executive leadership or the leadership over my department- at the time was in R&D. Very lofty goals and intense demands but unwilling to fund it or invest. I’m writing this review now because I’ve learned that they just had a massive layoff in the R&D department, cutting at least half of the people there. No warning, got rid of some VERY talented people, and no vision laid out for what’s to come next. Of course it only confirms what my fears were several months ago, but more so I’m angry at the total lack of respect and care given towards the people who have worked so hard for them.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
