Pros

Great co-workers. Parental leave is very generous.

Cons

The company only cares about the stock price and has fallen into yearly layoffs (spun as "streamlining") right before the earnings call. Benefits are cut, reviews are harder, and promotions are out of reach.

Advice to Management

You don't listen to staff, and you haven't for a long time. The CTO is belligerent and is actively driving the R&D department into the ground. The CEO fumbles and mumbles through every interaction and has no leadership skills.
