- Competitive benefits and compensation.
- Some co-workers are extremely passionate and intelligent.
- Industry leader in some product categories.
- Big company and everything negative that comes along with it: politics, miscommunication, self-promotion, etc.
- Some employees don't contribute but are still rewarded because of the above.
- Some products feel out of touch with competition and the market.
- Somewhat out of touch with industry best practices and could do a better job of catching up.
Layoffs really could have been handled better. Having them loom over the workforce for months was bad for morale.
