Vantaggi

Great compensation and benefits, good people, generally caring company that tries to do well by its employees

Svantaggi

Lately, lots of politics blocking progress in several areas. Turf wars. The recent reorganization resulted in about a 4% layoff... but they treated those people very well. Worse off are some of us left behind, and I was a lucky one. I was effectively demoted without cause, despite consistently very good reviews. The rising tide of the reorg floated some boats but sank far more others than it should have; many folks were pulled off of leadership and management tracks for no good reason; some people were put on PIPs for poor reasons, effectively managing them out without severance or the good treatment for those who were laid off. This has been very disappointing treatment of people who have been seen as valuable (but perhaps expensive) employees. A lot of very good people are leaving. I’m sure things will shake out and they will do well and be a great employee again, but this was a very disappointing end game for many of us. And it WILL be the end game.
