Fantastic people at lower levels of the organization. My teams were always supportive and collaborative. Diverse set of products and markets means always something interesting to work on.
Cons
Upper management seems lost, implementing large-scale restructuring every 1-2 years keeps people guessing about whether they'll have a job or not and how to navigate new corporate structures and systems. Benefits have slowly been eroded over the years. Employees are stuck using antiquated software and systems to do basic daily tasks, which kills productivity and require technical support frequently.

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.
