Pros
  • Great benefits package.
  • Excellent work-life balance.
Cons

Compensation lags other big tech companies, though it is still good overall.

Advice to Management

Stop pushing AI to customers; they don't want it. It's impacting the company reputation and likely causing the poor performance that's been used to justify layoffs.
