Company rapidly going downhill.

Pros

Great benefits. HR tries to engage employees. Company will eventually get resold.

Cons

Company was recently bough by a Venture Capitalist Firm. It's been downhill since then. New ownership got rid of most employees that have been there a long time and replaced them with employees that are new and cheap. New CEO brags about how more than half the employees in the company are new and have been there for less than 1 year. New owners stiffed everyone on inflation adjustments. 2022 merit increase was 3.3%. Inflation was 6.5%. 2023 was 3%. Inflation is expected to come in around 3.2%. Many in the company are making less money than the year before for 2 years in a row while the company has posted record profits. Old owners put employees above profits. New owners only care about money. Potential good news is that the company will get sold again and hopefully things will get better with new owners.

Pros

The very best engineering in science field, legacy of Bill Biggs vision.

Cons

This is not the same company that Bill Biggs established, so don’t be fooled. People mean nothing. Disagree with management and be let go. Promotion of “yes” people and elimination of traditional talent. Will lay off expensive people and bring in new entry level inexperienced people. Most other companies with equal or better culture will pay substantially more.
