Pros

I work with a very talented team. Salaries are also great.

Cons

No job security. For two years now, they have done layoffs even when the company is profitable. The leaders who chose to overhire or make poor investment decisions remain secure in their jobs. I think I will constantly be afraid I will get laid off now. It’s also awful seeing the impact layoffs are having on colleagues.

Also, a stupid RTO policy based on their ‘feelings’ – probably just another tool to encourage employees to quit voluntarily.

Advice to Management

Follow their own LP - Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer.

Treat employees humanely. Layoffs should be a last resort tool to save the company during financial duress, not an annual ritual.
