Pros

There is nothing I can think of.

Cons

- Leadership is extremely poor — the CEO and leadership team show no real care for employees. - Despite record engagement scores for remote/hybrid work, they suddenly forced a mandatory 3-days in-office policy with zero flexibility. - Salary reviews were frozen, and then the new office mandate was announced on top of that. - The FAQ about the new policy came weeks late and was filled with robotic copy-paste lines like “we care, but” or “we understand the extra commute costs and no raises, but”. - They pretend these decisions are about “strengthening culture,” but in reality it’s driving resignations. - Layoffs are announced every few months, with quiet firings happening in between. - Leadership seems to prefer pushing people to quit (by freezing pay, forcing office attendance, and ignoring personal circumstances) rather than managing fair layoffs. - No career development or growth opportunities. Promotions simply don’t happen, no matter your performance

Pros

Great flexibility, low stress (at times), well-staffed, so there was a lot of support.

Cons

They shifted products to keep profits up, and management kept changing.
