      North European company with equally North European benefits and biases

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent 401(k) plan, PTO days start at acceptable level

      Cons

      Company has aggressively increased its virtue signaling for "diversity," but the definition includes only a certain subset of diversity that mirrors a homogeneous liberal, secularized, North European perspective.

      Let Too Much Talent Go and Others will Slide Out the Door After Them

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunities to grow for many

      Cons

      Upper management is willfully uninformed and is not realistic about profit expectations in the industry. Unfortunately, upper management was unwilling to stick with action plans long enough to see the real results and mid to lower management who stayed in place knew better than to point out that the emperor wore no clothes. Results: too many layoffs of key people cut employee confidence off at the knees and a mass exodus of talent thereafter crippled performance levels.
