Pros

Awesome, intelligent co-workers, frequent free food, an overall pleasant atmosphere, and good work/life balance.

Cons

It's hard to advance my career, and management is a total fiasco. There's not a lot of job security due to lots of "restructuring," which is a euphemism for huge layoffs. I believe 10% of the company was cut in early 2017 and another 5% was cut at the end of 2017.

There isn't a very high retention rate for people in my field at the company. I believe close to 85% of my team bailed within my first three months due to absolutely horrid new management that was brought on.

Advice to Management

Get a grip and figure your BS out before you sink the entire ship. No one trusts you guys, and you seem to have absolutely no idea what is going on.
