Jobseekers should avoid; current employees should leave ASAP

Pros

Great people at manager and below level have remained; feel good brand; very good work/life balance

Cons

1. Company is deteriorating and just reading all the signals, will be in bankruptcy sooner rather than later 2. Periodic rounds of layoffs in 2017 did the following: lowered morale, signalled to anyone remaining that you're expendable, increased the workload of those who remained, turned directors/VPs into ridiculous Lumbergesque bureaucrats whose survival depends upon their ability to squeeze as much out of the rank and file. 3. Even your colleagues who you trust and like -- particularly the competent and logical ones -- are all working on their resumes and interviewing, hoping to get out while they can. This has lately created an atmosphere of distrust and misery.

Going downhill...

Pros

Best people I've ever worked with. Unfortunately, they've all started to leave. It's great to believe in this brand, but unfortunately, hope is not enough.

Cons

Outdated processes. Poor communications. Tons of meetings for no reason. Bad management - higher ups have no idea what people below them or doing or how much work they're doing. LOW headcount. People leaving left and right.

Pros

In house gym, encouraged to make business decisions and take risks, cool co workers make work tolerable. Flexible work hours.

Cons

Managed by a manager, little time to analyze business too busy doing admin stuff. No career development. Stretch people too thin.
