Pros

Sometimes flexible working hours.. Working from home. You may learn some new things, but you will certainly lose yourself.

Cons

1. Cultural Decline 2. No direction 3. Hotline 4. Brainwashing 5. Lack or missing professional trainings. 6. IT ignorance 7. Stress on daily basis 8.Things are either not going well or are urgent 9. No real career opportunities. 10. Non transparent rules, no clear job description and contract. 11. Hypocrisy 12.Оpportunism It was supposed to be a new beginning, but it didn't happen. Due to inadequate management, the company lost many customers. It was a process that had begun years аго, but no one thought to stop it. Those who did not leave the company had to bear all the mistakes of management. At the moment, the company is making another mistake - harassing those who decided to stay - with nonsense. The management never realized that it is not possible to constantly deceive people and expect them to be loyal. Now they are urgently looking for new people, but there is nothing to offer them. No one in this company dares to call a spade a spade. The atmosphere is very tense, people are desperate to see that management is powerless, or just don't care. This company needs brave people, not conformists. If you are a good professional, the atmosphere in this company will crush and depersonalize you.You will become a robot. Not worth it.

Pros

Remote work, vacation, coworkers are usually pretty chill, 3 months on the bench to look for a new job before you're laid off

Cons

10-11K planned to be laid off this year and they aren't going after the worst performers, they're just cutting out whatever section looks good in excel. Poor profitability. Constant reorgs. Say they're a flat organization but keep getting more and more vertical. the last manager I got transferred to took months to have a meeting with my group and when he did, it was only to let us know we were getting cut, never-mind that we had a presentation on how to save a couple million on a type of software license that the company had to have to do business. They still use a stacked ranking for employee review, so if your whole team had an outstanding year and surpassed every goal, only 5-10% will be graded as outstanding and 10-15% will get expects more. Even when I got into that 5-10% exceeds, the raise for that year was still only 2%. One year I got a promotion from band 4 to 5, still only a 2% raise. Your pay will be as flat as a plains state. After 15+ years in this company, it feels like leaving an abusive relationship. Yes, it's not all bad, but you have to recognize that it still wasn't good for you.
