Pros

Very professional people, people is really nice. Projects are exciting. Big clients.

Cons

There have been constant layoffs across all departments in the past year. Salaries are significantly low, and there are no bonuses or raises. Despite promoting themselves as tech-driven, almost an entired development team was laid off last month. There is a complete lack of transparency, with rumors of employees being pressured to sign NDAs to prevent discussion of the layoffs. Communication is virtually nonexistent, and there are frequent department restructurings, with the latest one appearing to be an excuse for further staff reductions. Teams are severely understaffed, leading to overwork and burnout among employees, and job security is uncertain. The company's stock has plummeted after Q3, likely due to a pattern of depleting resources. Valuable, highly skilled employees are being let go to preserve middle management that contributes little. It appears the company is headed for an inevitable downfall. The organization seems to be prioritizing short-term gains over long-term sustainability. This continuous cycle of layoffs and mismanagement is eroding employee morale and trust in the company's leadership. Employees are left feeling demoralized and undervalued, and the overall work environment has become toxic. It's evident that the company's focus has shifted away from innovation and quality, which were once its core values. With the constant loss of talented individuals and the neglect of essential teams, it's no surprise that the company's stocks have suffered. Investors and stakeholders should be wary of this unsustainable approach. In the end, it's a distressing situation for both employees and the company as a whole. Unless there's a drastic change in leadership and strategy, the future looks bleak, and the company's continued decline seems almost certain.
