Pros

Talented engineers, good teamwork, competitive pay and benefits.

Good technology domain. Fantastic culture.

Cons

Incessant Layoffs. Every year since 2011, there have been 7 to 10% layoffs, and in 2016, two layoffs.

In the recent layoffs, senior folks have been impacted since their benefits are higher. So, senior folks better watch out.

The constant chatter of upcoming layoffs or just-concluded layoffs kills the morale. This was a great company once, and I sincerely hope it returns to its past glory.

Advice to Management

No company has survived long with incessant layoffs. Layoffs should not be used solely to increase the bottom line and goose up the stock.
