Pros

Not some generic "market leader" but actually the market leader for industrial automation measurement sensors. Highly tenured products with highly differentiated products make for a very positive work environment. Good medical, insanely good 401k plan, burnout is voluntary and not cultural. Great safety culture and good COVID-19 protocol.

Cons

Has the trappings of large, old company. Innovation at a glacial speed, especially with resources internally. Many colleagues are on a long term career coast and creativity is stifled. Did not suffer COVID-19 well as a business with lots of layoffs.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
