Pros

Great colleagues. Interesting work. Good supporting dev infrastructure.

Cons

Random layoffs.

Disconnect between SLT and regular staff is getting worse.

Eroding benefits and salary.

Being told to do more with less and then adding more commitments on top.

Advice to Management

Morale is low, and a random, once-off bonus doesn't cut it.
