Pros
Solid benefits structure Unlimited PTO Stable pay Flexible work arrangements in some roles
Cons
Return to office is punitive and unjustified Culture has become increasingly impersonal and transactional Release cycles are unpredictable due to last-minute decision making and constant changes late in the process Planning is often reactive instead of proactive, creating unnecessary stress and rework Leadership emphasizes alignment over critical thinking; those who fully agree and do not push back are more likely to be rewarded Constructive dissent is discouraged, which limits innovation and trust Career advancement feels arbitrary, with few meaningful incentives to grow or take on additional responsibility Layoffs and role eliminations have created ongoing uncertainty When employees leave or roles are eliminated, work is frequently shifted offshore rather than reinvested in remaining teams Cost reduction appears to be prioritized over long-term team stability and knowledge retention Morale has declined as decisions increasingly feel driven by efficiency and optics rather than people Leadership routinely ignores employee feedback, implementing optics-based changes rather than meaningful ones
