Pros

Fantastic people at lower levels of the organization. My teams were always supportive and collaborative. Diverse set of products and markets means always something interesting to work on.

Cons

Upper management seems lost, implementing large-scale restructuring every 1-2 years keeps people guessing about whether they'll have a job or not and how to navigate new corporate structures and systems. Benefits have slowly been eroded over the years. Employees are stuck using antiquated software and systems to do basic daily tasks, which kills productivity and require technical support frequently.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
