Pros

Competitive pay and above average benefits. Discounts on products. Some of the best technical employees I've worked with, amazing engineers doing some awesome work. Work life balance (for now...)

Cons

Complete lack of trust in upper level leadership to make any competent decision. There is no logic or sound reason behind some of the decisions that have been made. It appears some have been made with ZERO understanding of how the brands actually develop successful and profitable products. Forced relocation to Chicago (or be fired) is causing tremendous loss of key knowledge and highly skilled non replaceable talent. There's a clear lack of any actual plan for this transition. Workspaces aren't ready, buildings aren't capable for the actual work the team does, and no one is able to clearly articulate the plan / vision.

Pros

Some amazing people here. Yes many left with HQ move but they hired in a lot of good people. The interim CEO is well known and well liked by many and has the right intentions. Wants the company to win. Strategy for the company is sound. Pay is good, benefits are good, amenities at the HQ are good.

Cons

Company went from an exciting headquarters move to a real turnaround situation. Stock price says a lot right now even it not all of that is due to things that leaders can control. Leaner times are ahead for the next year despite pressure to really execute.
