Pros

Working with talented people across the globe

Cons

Management's ability to lead and provide a safe, inclusive environment. Company markets this in their Diversity and Inclusion policies, but never seems to audit whether they are actually compliant with it. Especially if there are problems with upline executives. While they provide the advice to talk to HR, even if you formalize that, HR will never respond with actions taken or even follow up with you to see if the environment is better. HR has the EthicsPoint process, but even that is a dead-end for employees that look for help to have a respectful workplace. They just seem to want the problem to go away hoping that if they don't respond to an employee, the employee will just deal with it. That is NOT inclusive behavior!

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.
