Great culture, no micromanaging, flexible schedule, conscious of employee health, decent pay
Cons
Upper management not involved/understanding of production processes, constant headcount reduction while expecting drastic improvements to productivity. Heavily siloed org structure leads to disconnection between cross functional departments.

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.
Cons
Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
