Pros

Strong public company; high EBITDA.

Cons

The CEO said that bonuses would be 50-70% of target because we *only* made $6 billion in 2019. That’s a dramatic, unjustified decrease from 2018 bonuses when the company did just about as well. If you are considering a job here don’t count on the bonuses - make sure you get a high base salary. Also - executives turnover is very high. If you are going to work with the executives realize that your man* may not be there for more than 2-5 years. *all executives happen to be male (except one).
