Pros

Good salary and benefits. Before the new HR ranking system, I would say it was a great bonus.

Cons

Toxic management, very high workload, a lot of micromanaging, and constant layoffs (three or four times a year).

The worst is the new HR performance review system. Now, you are compared with your peers, and the bottom-ranked are fired, even if they are great employees. If you are in a very competitive group, you might get the ax.

There is a new fear culture now. They call it "embrace being uncomfortable so you can grow," which is just BS.

Advice to Management

The new culture, which was imported from tech companies, is killing morale, and many people are leaving now.
