Business Outlook

Pros

Still some amazing perks, the people are amazing and the teams work together well

Cons

It's just exhausting constantly going into company wide meetings about how entire slices of the company are losing high-value perks ranging from compensation to schedule flexibility. Even when you're not the target, the mood in those meetings is HEAVY. People naturally have a lot to say, but are only given platitudes about how much they value feedback (that is never formally solicited and is never addressed again). Lot of "top-down" mandates that change things for everyone, yet were decided on by a closed door meeting in secret. They're really speed-running trimming off anything from the company that makes it above average.
