Pros

You have a lot of opportunities to learn new skills. Compensation is okay.

Cons

Do not trust senior leadership as they speak out the side of their mouths (say one thing in one sentence then take's it away in another, we need to grow, yet we're cutting salespeople) very dysfunctional relationship between senior leadership and teams. Very risk averse that drives decisions within the company. Too many people in positions that "check a box" vs. helping the company innovate and move forward. Processes and procedures are the rods in the back of the organization that limit its ability to release products. In my opinion, leadership do not know how to lead but great at managing teams, which is not want the company needs at the moment.

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.
