Pros

Great benefits that are truly first-class when compared to other companies in the industry.

There are lots of very smart and motivated folks working at the company, and the new direction by the CEO seems to be promising.

Cons

With recent layoffs, many folks left inside are afraid for their jobs and the future of the company, both financially and direction.

There is plenty of uncertainty about the future of the company.

If you are in test, then you should highly consider moving into a different role, as the company as a whole seems to be getting rid of this function.

Advice to Management

Rip the band-aid off and finish the layoffs so folks inside can get past their concern.

Come up with a vision that includes truly driving revenue and growth into the company and get the employees to buy-in.
