Pros

Empowered employees and transparent executive management are a definite plus. The ability to work from home is accommodating, too.

Cons

Frequent layoffs and restructuring create a lot of uncertainty. Adopting new technologies through acquisition is a good strategy, but loyal employees are sometimes left behind. There are not enough activities promoting good work/life balance. Team-building events and tournaments (soccer, etc.) could be helpful.

Advice to Management

Try to provide more stability in order to put better confidence into employees.

Improve sense of belonging through better team-building activities.

Provide better perks (snacks, etc.) in the break rooms.
