Pros
I will maintain, the people I worked with day to day were genuine, kind, smart people that really, really believed in the company. We were all duped. It gave me the chance to broaden my skills and make new connections so when I was laid off, I had a chance to survive.
Cons
I feel like I was lied to and deceived - not by the people, but by management. Back when I came on board, they were all about US based jobs - 100% US, paying slightly lower than standard because of the culture and the remote work. But we loved it. Then they pulled the rug out and we realized we had bought into a scam. Leadership is NOT ethical or moral. They preached transparency and committed these ninja-like layoffs like we wouldn't notice. Everyday people disappeared. They lied about it. Then when they had no choice but to fess up, they held a meeting where NO questions or feedback was allowed. It was cowardly and deceptive. I feel so sorry for the people still there - just a stream of lies and broken promises while they continue to hand over US jobs to "near shore" companies. They fudge the numbers - are the near shore included in numbers or not? No one seems to know. It's a nightmare and I wouldn't recommend anyone to apply. I saw a review earlier that said to use it as a step up on your way somewhere else, and that's valid. Take the piddly money they offer and keep looking. You are not safe here.
