Pros

Good benefits You can work from home Nice people It used to be great

Cons

In less than a year, the company has gone through four reorganizations, creating a constant state of uncertainty. Layoffs have become a regular occurrence, and the stock continues to underperform. Compensation increases are minimal—typically around 2-3% annually—offering little motivation or reward for hard work. The constant restructuring has left the company in limbo for over a year, with no clear direction or stability. Budget constraints are severe, making it nearly impossible to drive innovation or support day-to-day operations effectively. Perhaps most telling, the CEO has openly stated that employees should “move on if this place no longer serves you”—a sentiment that underscores the current culture and morale. Overall, it’s hard to see a future here unless significant changes are made.

Pros

the employees are pretty nice, pay is pretty good

Cons

the layoffs just keep coming and morale is low data and systems are outdated, so you don't know who your most engaged employees are, and have to trust managers who may or may not be reliable sources of information it's a mess. too many decisions made too slowly. way past the move fast and break things stage, this company should have it's stuff together by now, org structure was once so silo'd that decisions didn't roll across groups, now we struggle to get buy in for needed changes
