Pros

Despite the challenges, the dedication and support of many employees create a sense of camaraderie and make the workplace manageable. Additionally, the company offers good benefits and remote work options.

Cons

Lack of Direction: The company frequently changes its strategic direction and product focus, which creates confusion and instability. This lack of clear vision affects overall productivity and employee morale. Frequent Layoffs: There have been numerous rounds of mass layoffs, which creates an environment of uncertainty and insecurity among employees. The constant threat of job loss impacts job satisfaction and trust in leadership. Poor Communication: There is a significant gap in communication from management regarding the company's future plans and rationale behind strategic changes. Employees are often left in the dark about major decisions that affect their roles and the company’s direction. Impact on Employees: The lack of stable direction and the frequent layoffs place a heavy burden on employees, leading to decreased morale and increased stress. The constant shifts and job insecurity make it difficult to maintain motivation and focus. Compensation bands have also really lowered over the past year.

Pros

Allows remote for the time being

Cons

AI everywhere. It seems like a return to office mandate is right around the corner (no longer allowing new remote employees). Code quality doesn't seem important anymore, only how much you can get done with AI.
