Pros

There are good benefits and salary

Cons

CEO and other management don't care about employees. Since the new CEO took over the whole environment has taken a dive. Managers and others don't give employees feedback and then reprimand the employees when they don't fix problems they don't know about. The culture of throwing people under the bus is tolerated and encouraged.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
