Pros

There was free food, nice co-workers, managers, and great compensation.

Cons

Bad leadership, they don't know what they're doing. They laid off 50% of our org and managers. We lost decades of context. Now people who are left have to extinguish fires. We lost all our Android engineers.

Advice to Management

If you lay off employees, give managers a say in who to fire. Don't make it a random number generator.
