Cutting and scaling down

Business Outlook

Pros

WLB is great. Tenure is appreciated throughout the company.

Cons

Downscaling and cost-cutting making working in their facility feel terrible to work in. Demoralizing environment when they are cutting every corner and bumping executive salaries. Terrible software stack that cannot get much done. Want someone new? Going through IT will take 6-12 months to get approved and possibly block down the line and throw your work out of the window.

Pros

Flexible schedule especially when its 4/10 or 9/80 Good Benefits Relatively Stable work environment Currently offer hybrid options Can get paid OT if approved

Cons

No remote options unless you happen to be grandfathered in Management can be a mixed bag. I've heard horror stories from some programs, but I haven't seen anything too terrible myself. It's also a big corporation at the end of the day so that comes with its own negatives
