Pros

The flexibility of the company, along with the ability to earn bonuses via patents.

Cons

Cash compensation (I work for less than when I started, counting inflation), reduced headcount, no job security.

Advice to Management

The overall reduction in headcount, increase in workload, and lack of compensation will, in the long term, send the company down a bad path with low-quality output.

The previous management felt they were in it for the now, not the future of the company.
