Pros

Fair base pay, extremely smart/passionate/capable working teams, solid work/life balance.

Cons

Current leadership has lost the plot. People are leaving en masse and morale is at an all-time low: - 3 rounds of major layoffs since May: zero job security - Last year saw 0% bonuses/raises despite increased expectations - Employees are blamed for sub-par performance, despite the real cause: leadership's lack of direction/strategy and poor financial decisions - Layoffs resulted in new, non-sensical team organizations and majorly effected IT and road-mapping that we need to compete in the marketplace - New team leaders appointed as "yes" people - lack of functional knowledge leaves working teams with no support from above - Culture is shifting to "do as your told" model- strategic thinking is viewed as a challenge to leadership - Leadership unable to prioritize effectively-- efforts/resources aren't focused where they will drive the most business impact - Only notable move from new CEO is 3-day forced return to office mandate to "improve collaboration" (backed by zero data, just desperate deflect the board from real problems)

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
