"People count" really means "Let's count people for layoffs"

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. If you need a job during a pandemic, then you could do worse I guess.

Cons

There seem to be layoffs every month as the company trumpets a bizarre "responsible growth initiative." Despite there being a global pandemic, the company has increased our workload and stress. The CMO has launched no initiatives, has no goals, no new ideas, nothing. Leadership seems to hate making decisions but loves making presentations to manage up and make their bosses feel good. There is a total lack of clarity, accountability, and transparency. There is constant chaos and no real business goals. Just platitudes. They are woefully behind the times, and everyone seems to be pushing ideas from like 10 years ago. Everything gets done very slowly as everyone is risk averse to the point of paralysis. They are happy with the status quo.

Pros

People count is one of their values and the company hold true to it. Good salary and great work life balance (I heard it’s changing now to worse :(

Cons

Quite slow pace and not very challenging
