Great benefits - total lack of transparency

Pros

- Excellent work/life balance - Great health benefits - Fair pay + bonuses

Cons

There was a complete lack of transparency from top management. I made it through multiple layoffs where even the managers of the laid off employees were informed at the same time as the employees. There was no clear reason given why specific people were laid off, and sometimes they were people who owned important documents or ran projects that could no longer be accessed.
