Pros

Excellent benefits. Practically guaranteed time off when requested. Work from home opportunities. Opportunities to work in different fields.

Cons

Talent pool is dwindling due to shipping certain jobs overseas to comply with business rule of getting investors as much profit as possible. Too much bureaucracy. New hires are green. "Who you know" mentality for moving up, instead of basing it on merit. Mainly metrics driven without realistic timelines for completion. Unrealistic budget expectations.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
