Pros

Flexible working.

Overall compensation package currently competitive.

Cons

Yearly layoffs are a constant threat of job loss (nobody is safe), creating a negative culture.

The annual performance review (CPC) process does not always accurately reflect individual performance.

The compensation package is becoming less competitive, with no cost of living raises or frozen for years.

Advice to Management

Be 'truly' transparent and walk the talk!
