Pros
Prior to COVID hitting, the company and employees were masked with the unlimited budget and extravagant experiences. Employees closed their eyes to the cracks that were in the foundation of the company. The people, the work and the opportunities were in arms reach, there was hope. It was beautiful chaos that we all signed up for. You had purpose and you were valued to a degree.
Cons
When COVID hit, came a big lay-off, pay cuts and cracks in the foundation were put under a magnifying glass. Poor leadership was not as forgiving to employees. Employees were treated like numbers, not humans. Lots of talk and no action. The founders refused to change or listen to their employees voices, even when asked in surveys. Purpose, trust and investment was lost in many and the only way was to try and survive, so you could keep a job.
