Pros

Allows WFH for many roles. Pretty decent profit sharing and 401k match. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Too much focus on DEI and too little on products or deliverables.

Cut back all benefits, including free bananas.

Company is stuck on Intel architecture, and it is costing them.

Higher-ups sabotage or derail every effort to get off of IA or products which deviate from prior products. The company is incredibly narrowly focused and will not pursue growth opportunities unless they fall into that narrow path.

Company tries to force-fit the wrong technology to solve different problems.

Advice to Management

Management and the BOD have missed every key decision and technology shift in the last 20 years. Someone should care about this.
