Good pay but unstable leadership and direction

Pros

Good pay.

Nice mission statement.

Cons

Leadership constantly changes its mind mid-cycle, be that regarding performance reviews, company direction, or restructuring. My team name alone must have changed eight times in four years.

Advice to Management

You probably should have cleaned your own house a little bit before laying off half of engineering.
