Great co-workers, a great place to learn, a great environment, great benefits, and overall lots of fun day to day. There are also lots of good outings.

Terrible bureaucracy, lack of pay, and respect for their employees' long-term careers. So much transition benefits them short-term but is deceiving for long-term benefits to the company.

I know you are trying to change to a new direction, but cycling through employees is a bad idea long-term. It's good short-term, but you are going to kill productivity and products faster than you will start them. I am sad I had to leave before the team got layoff after layoff to the point they got cut.

Please respect operational rigor not just as a budget tool, but consider the impact and investment also to the teams and respect the people more than just a number.
