Pros

Good benefits with well structure

Cons

My supervisor acted as a yes man all the time to his boss, and required his staff to do same. He rejected all different opinions.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Bonus is based on performance and is on a bell curve with your peers. Stock options are guess - 15% discount.

Cons

Culture is not great. Lots of new executive leadership and the original culture is not even there. Lots of political jockeying, no transparency from leadership.

Used to be a great company until the new CHRO arrived

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome team members, great business opportunities for continued growth, new CEO seems to have the right intent, but he is trusting people who are not giving him the right info or advice.

Cons

New CHRO has created a culture that does not care about people, impossible to dissent, very tactical work, no real pwople strategy, very hard work with zero recognition, compensation is below market, yet the keep cutting: eg. When they run out of things to cut or costs to raise, they most recently eliminated the mobile reimbursement which was already low from prior cuts ( at $20). They assume people will use their own phones, while working very long hours, without any recognition and lousy salary increases that are consistently and significantly below market. Yet, there is such a culture of not speaking truth to power, and the new CHRO is so incompetent and only concerned about self preservation, that no one speaks truth to LT. There are no career growth opportunities. Culture of hiring externally, even though they should have realized by now that that strategy does not work as proven by the number of senior leaders they later turned over the years
