Pros

"stable" company but actually it is not really. went through a lot churns of layoff and early retirement.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. Ageism is very strong. Once past 50 years old, you're a target to get yanked. Won't invest on anymore training on you. Senior executives are very White Male. The last five years they have been honing on getting women. Not many African or Asian American executives in North America, if any at all.

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.
