Pros

Good work-life balance.

At an average or slightly higher salary for the local area, which is fair though not very high compared to the Bay Area, WA, etc.

Direct reports basically have good support, and co-workers are super friendly, willing to help, and listen.

Many resources are also provided for self-learning and training programs.

Cons

Chaos management or leadership brought by SLT since the end of 2022.

And the forced back-to-office policy caused the center or site to not be able to provide enough cubes to fit everyone, which means you have to share cubes or use hotel cubes when you are back in the office. While the policy requires 3 days back and 2 days remote, it still seems to be working fine, but if it were 5 days back in the office, I can guarantee no center would have enough workspace for everyone to sit down.

Advice to Management

Direct reports, basically, what I experienced were super nice people, even up to some senior manager and director levels.

But things changed when leadership leveled up to SLT. GMs and colleagues know this well in recent times.
