Pros

Well-established company with decent benefits and slim chances of ever going under.

Cons

Since the stock price took a huge hit due to revenue reports in 2024, the culture has majorly shifted to become more blame-based. A lot of people have recently been put on pretty performative PIPs and then let go (with zero severance!), even when all PIP action items were adequately fulfilled.

It's generally a worse place to be now than a couple of years ago, and many people are leaving.

Advice to Management

Stop doing that. Be more transparent about the actual reason for firings.
