Pros

Work/Life balance has always been considered in my time here. Your peers are great to work with. Benefit packages are usually rather complete across the locales. In some locales, the HR support is excellent when requiring help leading people. Room for growth, and in some departments there has always been a well laid out career path as long as the leaders discuss with their employees.

Cons

There has been a significant culture shift this past decade. There had been a balance of business and the people, but more recently the focus has been changed to be strictly business. There has been an abnormal amount of churn in our executive leadership across the global company which has brought some fear into the company wondering who is next. Though I believe some attempts at trying to correct the "blame game" culture has been made, it is still quite prevalent rather than trying to work as a team little to no silos. The pay is typically below market across all locales and does not keep up with inflation.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
