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.
