Pros

Above average compensation for the area. Exciting and challenging work. Tons of opportunities to learn and grow. Good health benefits.

Cons

"Very targeted" and "played-down" layoffs were the result of simply being the least performing, not necessarily being a poor performer.

There seems to be a large disconnect between upper management and direct managers.

The CEO had an exceptional attitude about the company, followed by job and revenue cuts a year later.

There is an intense workload at times.

Advice to Management

Upper management should take more input from direct managers about employees' performance, insight, and situations.
