Pros

Vast majority of employees are kind and look out for each other. DE&I is still very much in place and very active.

Cons

Chose to save money by cutting all the perks of working here (work from home, 401k, etc.) and while they won't admit it, it's pretty obvious this was an effort to reduce headcount and lower staffing costs. Current employees are now shouldering more and more responsibility, with no incentive to do so. It's always "think of the bottom line!!!" Even when asked about company morale and increased workload, the HEAD of HR more or less just shrugged and said "sometimes ya just gotta work harder." Extremely silo-style hiring. If you ever want to try something new at the company, good luck. Your only real option is to wait for your supervisor to move out so you can move up.
