Pros

The only two pros are:

  • Good peers (most seem to care about their co-workers and are technically proficient)
  • Remote friendly
Cons

Lots of turmoil in management, turnover, delays in projects, and broken promises. Also seems like there are quiet layoffs going on that they are trying to keep people from realizing are happening.

Advice to Management

Stop making promises you can't keep. Be honest with people. Stop silencing dissent. Pay tenured people better. Do something for people hired in the last ~12 months for the stock crash. Also, give better support, benefits, and vacation time. Don't preach diversity and then have limited healthcare for people who may fall into those categories and need it.
