Pros

The local culture of getting things done. Leading a team that was lean and growing them to be excellent leaders.

Cons

The DEI push on even people of color to convince us that we were underrated/impoverished from succeeding. Directed on going through the Mentors of Color program would help with growth. Even as a person of color wasn't enough because being a male and conservative automatically "excluded" my thoughts or views- no matter how objective they were. I would not be surprised if this caused my career to have a negative annotation in my file.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
