Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive, and remote flexibility is still a major advantage. There are intelligent, hardworking people across teams, and you will learn quickly because the environment moves fast. The work itself can be meaningful when there is stability.

Cons

The company is following a predictable cycle that many of us have now lived through multiple times. Growth, cyclical layoffs, outsourcing the work to foreign “partner teams”, and constant restructuring to protect margins. This pattern has repeated enough that it no longer feels strategic. It feels reactive. Each round is framed as necessary evolution, but internally it creates anxiety, burnout, and loss of trust. Employees live in ongoing uncertainty, watching headcount shrink while expectations remain high. Teams are told to stay focused and positive while coworkers and peers disappear and the work shifts overseas to “partners”. It takes a real human toll. Morale has significantly declined and many of the employees left are operating in a constant state of uncertainty and burnout.
