Pros

Good benefits. The rank and file are nice people.

Cons

Constant lip service is paid to egalitarian company values, but decisions are made in a top-down manner, which results in confusion, wasted work, and dropped projects.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is high among managers.

The peer review process.

The CEO lied to the company about jobs being safe before a mass layoff.

Uneven hiring makes it difficult to trust the quality of other developers.

Advice to Management

"Site Stability Week" sounds like you're panicking.

Junior management, leave before you become like senior management.
