Pros

In theory:

  • Work/life balance
  • Decent facilities
  • Remote work policy
  • Healthcare plan
Cons

The continuing layoffs have made it clear: upper management has no idea of, or no interest in, attracting or developing talented people anymore. Long term, nothing else will matter if this persists.
