Pros

Interesting tech stack around cloud solutions. This is an interesting area with tech challenges. Good self-service infrastructure.

Full-time work from home.

Decent work-time balance.

Very competent colleagues.

Cons

Too complex and prohibitive processes regarding using third-party software; too much paperwork for security reviews. The latest layoff round put me in a position of insecurity and stress because I have no influence on that at all.

Advice to Management

You lose a lot of money on red tape around software delivery.

Make standardized tools to help us with things like 3rd party library licensing.

As for layoff strategy, that's above my pay grade, but from my position it felt horrible how it went down and its indiscriminate nature.
