Pros

Great benefits, some pockets of innovation and research in various departments. There is potential to bring this company back to a good place to work.

Cons

This company is attempting to restructure and make a profit, however, there have been so many changes in the last year and a half, that they are struggling. They lose people weekly, and some week in 2018, they would lose 10-20 people. The current culture is chaotic and toxic, and they expect everyone to do more than one job.

Pros

Good benefits, competitive pay, nothing.

Cons

Executive team doesn't know what they are doing and are dishonest. For example, saying layoffs are over, and then continuing to lay people, and entire teams, off. There is a significant employee retention problem, VPs and managers are leaving in droves.

Pros

The people that I worked with on a day-to-day basis (first-level management and below)

Cons

The positive reviews from June 2025 were part of an initiative within a certain department to raise the average review score, so they cannot be trusted. Ever since acquired in 2024, the company has lost more than 50% of their salary workers by means of layoffs and those scrambling to get out while they can due to leadership brick walling any sort of efforts to listen to their employees needs. Many leaving do not have alternate jobs lined up just to get out of the environment. Senior leadership's stubbornness to not maintain high-caliber talent hinders accomplishing any meaningful projects, leading to unmanageable workloads and getting berated by partners. Employees who were additionally in line to receive promotions now have to fight tooth and nail to get raises, and in some cases have actually been demoted, only to make way for those who have "potential" instead of actual experience for those elevated job titles. R&D seems to have no intention of actually trying to get new products to market - just protecting their short term monetary gains until the private equity company can sell the business again. A truly catalytic downward spiral of high stress levels and low morale. But don't worry, leadership's solution for this culture issue was to sterilize the work place by removing books and puzzles from the breakrooms, followed up with a self pat on the back.
