Pros

The company once maintained a leadership position in the remote device management field. Technology, although dated, worked well. Dedicated product management, and engineering folks.

Cons

Gutless, clueless senior management. Company lacks the ability to achieve or exceed corporate revenue goals. Awful sales and distribution focus. Fully incapable of building and sustaining lasting and permanent customers.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
