Pros

International perspective, reasonable pay, many ERGs to connect with coworkers (but not to be seen as support from upper management or a means to help further your career)

Cons

No growth internally. Outdated resources and a dying industry will limit opportunities if you leave the company. Poor management and constant changing of roles and restructuring departments. There is broad internal support and promotion of managers across the company with HR violations.

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.
