Pros
  • Pay and benefits are top of the market.
  • You will feel like you're making a contribution.
  • There is an amazing community and social atmosphere.
  • Separation pay is usually three-plus months, plus six-plus months of COBRA, to soften the blow of a sudden termination.
Cons
  • Executive leadership can and will tell you one thing, then do another moments later.
  • There is no promise of security. There are no criteria to determine whether you will or will not be selected for termination when the company does layoffs. You can be one of the top-performing members of your team, but for reasons known only to executive leaders, your job can end at a moment's notice.
Advice to Management

Stop changing the entire company ecosystem every 2 to 4 weeks and expecting consistent results. "Embrace Ambiguity" is meant to be advice, not a principle. And please tell your staff what the dividing lines are. People would be much more confident in their work knowing they'll be able to finish it before they lose their job.
