Pros

Good work-life balance, renamed company.

Cons

Leadership is clueless, with stakeholders prioritized over everything and anything.

Changes were made abruptly without analyzing consequences.

Internal tools are bad.

No one in higher-up positions is accountable for their mistakes.

Managers (M1) are not in the loop of anything until the last minute.

Career opportunities are scarce.

Every quarter, people are scared if they are going to be RIF'd.

Advice to Management

RIF Satya. Oh, wait, that will not happen. The stocks are higher than ever.
