Pros

Paid well and the benefits were good.

Cons

Director I worked under was a bigot.

Seemed openly biased against black and Hispanic candidates I'd bring. She would basically flirt with engineers to get work done and told us to be more popular.

On a work trip, she joked we should go cheat on our partners during the trip. This was alongside providing next to nothing as a manager. Zero real leadership, goals, just random chaos trips that seemed to have the goal of just messing with us.

Layoffs in the org ended up only targeting men on the XFN side and mostly women on the engineering side.

Advice to Management

Fire half your racist directors.
