Vantaggi

- You cannot get fired for performance, only during market downturns - Work life balance is great. A lot of people get away with ~30 hours a week no problem - Great place to enter from outside as they will pay initial market rate. But don't stay longer than 3-4 years

Svantaggi

- No overall strategy means every 3-4 months your priorities shift. You'll never get any projects completed, so your performance will always look mediocre - Extremely political. There are chosen ones, and there is no way to break into that fold unless someone high level retires - Extreme nepotism, getting worse during downturn - Internal promotion process is terrible. You will not get anything more than 6-9% for job promotion, and yearly will always be less than 3% - Extremely fat layer of management, a lot of people in offices that won't ever be going anywhere any time soon. Expect a barrier to promotion - Aging work force, they do a terrible job of cleaning house in the older groups and they churn through the younger work force. First ones laid off are the young ones, which is only making the age gap worse - Pension was pulled in 2015, and new 401k match is not very good. No reason to retire here

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

(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.
