Pros

Industry is really great, lots of opportunities.

Cons

CEO is extremely disrespectful, doesn’t listen to anyone and makes one mistake after another. Too focused on the short term (result at all costs), has no clue about where the company/industry is going. Doesn’t empower nor trust, all he does is to micromanage. He disrespects leadership that reports to him. Multiple people that reports to him or close to him left the company (CFO, controller, investors relations, etc). He’s slowly breaking all company’s processes, he changes everything all the time and result is that no one knows anymore who does what and who’s responsible for what. HR is fundamentally broken, CHRO doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t listen and doesn’t like people. Everybody in the company hates everything HR does. There is no strategy, everything is a mess, processes are broken, nothing is planned and everything is urgent and poorly done. Extremely siloed, leadership in HR doesn’t understands the business nor think that they work for the business. People in HR are frustrated with HR.

Pros

Solid pay, amazing benefits, best 410k match I've ever seen. Very generous PTO.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement, very high turnover, getting anything accomplished is a challenge. Management knows there are major issues, but nothing changes. Job would be bearable if the manager were replaced. Way too much finger pointing.
