Pros

There are none now since the new CEO.

Cons

Since Gary Steele left it's been going downhill.

Forced RTO even though we had a record year. Personally I'm more productive working from home, I get far more done and I know this is true for my colleagues. No data driven reason to return to office. Now we have to spend money on fuel, wear and tear on a car, losses time. I felt blessed to work from home, being back is having a dramatic impact on both work and personal life.

Callous immediate layoffs. People were laid off immediately without empathy. At least give people more time, like two months or so. Heartless...

The company culture has been ripped apart. Who knows what's coming in the future.

Advice to Management

Not like we're going to be listened to. We need someone like Gary Steele and Lyn again, people that were compassionate whilst also being great leaders.
