Pros
  • Good market pay, mostly cash.
  • Great hiring; people are fun to work with.
  • Lunch provided in some locations.
Cons
  • Multiple layoffs, no job security. ICs are first to go.
  • Forced RTO 3 days a week, job at risk if non-compliant.
  • Increased monitoring of employees.
  • Executive leadership lives in an ivory tower, out of touch.
  • Very poor, one-way communication between execs and everyone else.
  • Future of the company is ambiguous, no strategic direction. Big mistakes made at the top with zero accountability.
  • No 401k match.
  • Work-life balance gets worse with every layoff.
Advice to Management

Listen to your employees on the ground. Staying in your ivory tower is tanking the company.
