Pros

Decent pay for the initial one year. No career growth.

Cons

A lot of layoffs without severance pay.

Management is using PIP as a tool to lay off people so that severance is not required, which saves the company money.

No career growth.

Stock options are a joke. The stock will fall 30-40% before vesting.

Management thinks only the Senior VP, VP, and senior managers are working. Only they are getting growth. There is no care for Engineers and Senior Engineers.

Advice to Management

Stop thinking as if only management is working. If management thinks that engineers are just cheap labor, it reduces career benefits and potential growth. You will lose all good talent.
