Pros
Met so many wonderful and talented people who will be friends for life. The company makes reliable, high-quality products. I was proud of what we delivered to customers. I enjoyed my work and team. Beautiful offices and buildings.
Cons
The market is moving to other technologies, and tariffs are killing the business. Rather than admit the reality of the situation and give people the dignity of a layoff and severance package, they are hunting employees to fire using ridiculous reasons. This is not walking the talk of their mission statement, which includes "promoting the well-being of their employees." It is a Toxic workplace with a capital "T". There is a systematic devaluing of the talent. Six-month and annual reviews are brutal and subjective, and designed to hold people down. There are so many egos and narcissists in charge. The politics are next level, and I have lost all respect for an Ivy League education.
