Trendy words used to fire you, contractors aplenty
Work-Life Balance
Decent pay
Perks (that are kind of slowly going away)
Laying off half the workforce responsible for a release right before it happens.
No warning, and after a good quarter of sales, a chunk of the workforce got the axe. At one time, I felt my job was secure here if I worked hard and got my job done. Now, it feels like a world of contractors, with everyone getting colored badges to show where you land in the hierarchy of the company.
Don't chop labor before a release or a move to a tower.
