Pros

Descent balance of work/family life. Good technology, but disconnected from sourcing and manufacturing teams

Cons

Forced Ranking arbitrarily administered. Rankings overruled based on feelings and political gamesmanship in evaluation meetings. Lack of truthfulness in feedback given to be fed back to reports. Integrity of leadership suspect as all work pits workers against workers and has resulted in some mysteriously sabotaged projects. Sr. Managers missed key market indicators on the up and now the down side of the business. Currently running 40% of capacity, while last year we were being pushed to grow capacity 25%. Benefits are weak and pay is below top level. Highly PC with discriminatory policies against certain groups. White boys need not apply.

Pros

Work from home, flexibility, paternal leave policy, pension plan

Cons

Pay is low and has not kept up with inflation. Leadership is only DEI hires, and they do not seem to understand the actual work being done. They are making life miserable for employees by adding unnecessary KPI's and performance tracking to make a name for themselves within the senior leadership. No loyalty for employees, they will let you go in the blink of an eye if the business struggles.
