Pros

Flexible work environment, great product, challenging work, and kind, committed peers.

Cons

C-suite drives into walls for the fun of it, chaos-monkeying employees as though we were computers. Deleting meetings was a painful joke that cost a lot of people a lot of time and work to fix. Performance review systems got changed and new deadlines set with days of notice, completely side-swiping anyone who had a planned vacation. Intelligent process and managerial work is not valued, and that just leads to confusion and chaos in unnecessary ways.

Advice to Management

If you've got anyone left doing management after three or more rounds of layoffs, give them a little respect.
