Pros

Good work is interesting, with plenty of ways to upskill, and my personal compensation was adequate.

Cons

Everyone is depressed, and there is no job security. It doesn't add up why I work this hard for a company that slaps me with a redundancy offer at the end of it.

Advice to Management

At this point, it is too late. People want out. All the good engineers will leave, and the remainder will struggle. This company will go through a catastrophic recalibration at the rate it is going.
