Frustrating but good on a resume

Pros

A recognizable name in a small field given the skillset, in department management is friendly and encouraging

Cons

strict HR protocols, basically a political gag order. Especially annoying as a minority, knowing I can't be politically active beyond silently voting, and yet seeing the channel platform "both sides"
