Pros

Decent people down in the orgs

Always working with the latest technology

Cons

Executives and the C-suite just suck, they came in hard their first year and revoked all remote work and instituted the first lay-offs in a long time, which would otherwise be fine if they didn't do it in the most scrambled and damaging way possible.

The company as a whole is always trying to squeeze every ounce of juice from the employees, and this is NOT how it used to be. The new C-suite has chilled off a little, but given how things are down on the ground, we're coasting toward a collapse.
