Pros

Good and competent colleagues (mostly), interesting work and tech.

Cons

Merge, sale, layoff, strategy shifts, generally being cheap in idiotic ways, IT and HR are disasters. 5 levels of dead-end acquired-through-mergers management without authority (e.g. a $90 purchase needs to be run by the CFO). New CEO killed off all remote work/part work from home because he only feels people work hard when the parking garage is full at 5PM. I am not joking.

Pros

Unique global culture Exciting projects and technology Good people on local teams

Cons

CEO with zero emotional intelligence has entire leadership team disengaged Company failing because of incompetent management having no credibility with capital markets (growth targets based on CEO's ego not reality, this is why we are undervalued) Many of the company's top talent being fired, demoted or forced to relocate
