Pros

There are the golden handcuffs of pay and benefits, though that is changing.

Cons

I thought I was going to be a lifer, but then the culture took a turn for the worse. Morale couldn't be lower. Leadership is purely focused on improving the stock price, and employees are simply a means to an end. With AI, it has gotten even worse. I wouldn't work here again.

Advice to Management

Get your head out of your butts and start caring for people again! The world does not need to revolve around shareholders.
