Pros

Great outlook with the future of AI. GFx is doing up-down okay, and Automotive is still WIP. Still lots of good people with the "old culture."

Cons

Some management plays toxic politics that costs people issues, up to losing a job.

New hiring brought a new (mostly bad) culture.

Advice to Management

Flatten the org.

Clean up the culture. Signs are many, for example:

  • Misrepresentations of the value and impact of work have increased.
  • Recognized people by competency are pushed out while mediocre to medium performers are promoted.
  • When two orgs merge, see who is pushed out and identify the "gangs."
  • HR is political, while at some point it was sometimes objective.

And so on.
