Pros

My direct boss was very good.

Cons

Poor vision and poor execution. Always lake to the game. Paid 2 times too much for acquisitions as evidenced by now having to sell them off. The current and recent past leadership seriously eroded shareholder value. It’s hard to understand why the board hasn’t fired the CEO, CFO, and the rest of the executive team.

Pros

1. Strong compensation and benefits 2. Good brand recognition in the industry 3. Talented individual contributors

1. Serious leadership issues at the mid-management level 2. Extremely high turnover within certain teams (approximately 30% of employees lost in my group within one year) 3.

Culture of fear rather than trust—employees felt uncomfortable speaking up, and some openly feared retaliation 5. Problematic managers were widely known internally, yet remained in place
