• Management generally tries to do its best for the employer's wellbeing.
• Good benefits.

After the layoffs, the work culture in general got worse. People are working longer hours, even at night, to get a good performance review.

There's much more pressure to perform and deliver under tight deadlines. Due to past layoffs, everyone had to take on more responsibilities for under-staffed projects.

PS: Of course, this experience differs from team to team. Some orgs within MSTF still have great work-life balance. Some other orgs got it worse.

Don't try to "Copilot everything" and chase short-term goals to show off to investors. Instead, chase more sustainable long-term goals.
