Pros

Very good pay and benefits.

Cons

I was downsized after 29 years of loyal service, just before I could retire.

Clear case of age discrimination in my opinion.

You will not be promoted unless you are part of "the club" of insiders.

Advice to Management

Think of the ramifications of replacing highly experienced people with millennials; it may not be wise. Stop hyper-focusing on electric cars that can't be sold at a profit.
