Pros

Since it is a Corporate position, the compensation is above average and in general there is more budget availability. My boss is really consider, he defends their team and makes sure their team members are recognized for their work.

Cons

The Costa Rica Site organization and the people in management positions make the site the worse to work in. Most people in management positions do not trust what the data shows and work by micromanaging. Engineers in high positions passing their responsibilities to others in lower positions. There is no technical knowledge and everyone work with their heart and not their brain.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
