      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Will invest in tools and facilities as needed to support the generation of income. Salaries competitive when you come out of school.

      Cons

      Will sacrifice employees for the bottom line and wall streets view. Salaries lag severely after 5 years there. Benefits are being cut yearly to the lowest common denominator for the companies they own

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

      Cons

      (1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
