Good people; Executive leadership does not care

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good coworkers, relatively low stress

Cons

Executives are completely tone deaf and employee morale is in disrepair. Between layoffs, missed bonuses, and RTO mandates with no plan in place, it's hard not to feel like the leadership is either incompetent or trying to tank the company. I can't trust a thing they say. and I know I'm not alone. Either way, I'm expecting a lot of people to leave in a short amount of time.
