      Pros

      I love my job, love going to work with customers solving their problems in challenging environments. Love the technology with strong brand recognition.

      Cons

      Constantly being lied to around this new comp plan. We were told base pay wouldn’t go down. Very first presentation on the plan. Base pay is going down you will need to adjust your finances to get used to the lower base. We are being told this isn’t a pay cut, this isn’t about cost savings. It 100% is just that.

      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.
