Lost its way with management changes

Pros

Used to be a good company to work for with managers that cared about their employees. Lots of PTO.

Cons

Laid off all the empathetic managers. Forced out all the employees that raised questions. Purposefully passed up promoting qualified employees just to hire people that were severely under-qualified. Questionable hiring/promoting practices with regards to DEI favoritism.
