      Pros

      Pay is great and benefits are as well with 401K company match and a consistent dividend payout quarterly.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, it has shifted back to a 5 day in the office work model. Yes, you still have some flexibility if you need to run home early for certain reasons, but there is no more WFH life.

      Prioritizing office politics over the right person

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits and pay package.

      Cons

      Workload is not distributed equally across groups. Some have multiple projects and NPI going at once while others sit with one project per year. For a company who supposedly champions work-life balance, the amount of micromanagement and expectations to be available after hours does not reflect that. The "Executive Office" (whatever that means) has made a unilateral edict to return to the office full time with no exceptions. Citing "collaboration" and "we are always better together" even though most of us don't work with groups in our office locations and have to have virtual meetings most of the time. Management refuses to acknowledge that productivity and morale was improved when there was a work from home and hybrid work model, in some cases almost a 50% productivity improvement. Who you know seems to be more important than your skills and experience when selecting candidates for positions. Seems that if you haven't played the office politics game you have no ability to move up in the company. Global service specifically has made the decision that they will not be doing any more promotions in place. Management has decided that rather than encouraging workers to improve in their current positions and grow in their abilities, they want us to move on to different positions across different areas of the company. This decision seems to be short sighted and has already resulted in lose of good competent workers with no backfill, causing higher stress and workload on those who haven't left yet.
