Pros

Great benefits, great people (depending where you land), good flexibility with work hours. Great support among teammates and direct manager.

Cons

Senior leadership say they seem not to care much about the impact on employers. The CEO told us to assume goodness and no layoffs were happening, only to later shut down an entire innovation center. The new CIO, who came from Apple, appears tone-deaf. They held a new meeting to talk about direction and plans for the GM IT sector, completely dismissing any hard-hitting questions from those affected by the shutdown.

Advice to Management

Stop lying to your employees. Genuinely care for your employees.

Trust has been damaged. I'm not sure what you're going to have to do to gain that back. Who's to say that you won't close another innovation center or lay off more people?
