Some regional offices getting woke.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, good hours, interesting work at the beginning.

Cons

Culture went from being cerebral and academic to being woke. Better watch out everything you say or do. People who don't like it just stopped coming to the office. Probably because of lots of younger people in the office nowadays. They're supposed to give you energy, not suck it out of you... Compensation could be better. Some offices barely get any oversight from the HQ wrt to cultural alignment and things could go really bad. Not as fast moving or as innovative as working in other industries. Feels like a tech company of the 90s wrt to how people think about things.
