Pros

• Strong, diverse product line. • Very diverse company able to weather turns in the economy. • Has a good story to tell and sell.

Cons

• Business focus is on reducing cost by moving work to low cost centers - India, China, Philippines. • Opportunities for growth are limited due to outsourcing of work to low cost centers. • Due to business restructuring it can be difficult to balance Work-life schedule. • Business is shifting from a “If you build it they will come” to a “when the customer signs up we will build it” attitude. Seem to be taking more reactionary verses a proactive approach.

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.
