Pros

The benefits weren't bad. Able to work remote and didn't force you to go to the office, but there is still an office available in major cities to go to if needed Learned a lot

Cons

integration efforts have been all over the place, making everyone's job a million times harder. They can't make up their minds about which system we should all be using, leaving some teams to do more work because all of the same information needs to be in multiple places. Additionally, management seems indecisive about defining employees' responsibilities, leaving many of us confused about our roles. I had no clue what my role entailed until I was laid off. It's so obvious they are actively reducing positions in the United States while opting to hire from countries with lower labor costs since I saw my role go up the next day. This is bound to create numerous challenges with clients predominantly based in the US... Just to add to the topic of layoffs... I get that they need to happen and it's a rough time for the industry, but they never address it as a company. It's all done so secretively and it's been a handful layoffs every month for what has felt like the entire year. It forces everyone to continuously pick up the pieces with no direction and restructure while at the same time worrying about job security. Reviews are always delayed and never given a real reason. Even when salary increases roll around, the increases are so minimal.
