Pros

From LG 12 and down, most of the people are great to work with; some higher-level managers are also good.

Cons

The CEO and current executive staff have drastically changed the company. Thought I would be a lifer after more than 24 years and HS and O performance ratings the last 5 years, but was shown the door in the summer of 2024. Saw big changes coming after a lot of the executive staff started exiting after 2020 and outside consultants were brought in. Totally changed the culture and dynamics of a once great company.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
