Approves of CEO
Pros

Large company with strong financial backing and tech portfolio.

Working from home is even encouraged.

Regular large bonus.

Cons

If you belong to an acquired company:

  1. The mother company might not know how to handle the acquired company effectively to grow them.
  2. The mother company considers small margin profitability not enough, so it enacts regular elimination of groups with small profit margins, despite still being profitable.
