Pros

Friendly coworkers, hard-working employees, willing to share their expertise and support.

Cons

Cutting expenses (people) is the wrong focus. It is destroying morale and the core strength of the company.

Opportunities to try different jobs are small since requests to move to a different group are usually rejected.

Leadership, with a few exceptions, is out of touch with the realities at the working team level.

Advice to Management

Focus should be on people and keeping the talent.

Every bad quarter translates into more cuts, but no vertical management change at the level that defines the roadmap.
