Pros
  • Great coworkers
  • Intelligent engineers
  • Interesting and meaningful work
  • Nice offices and amenities (while they lasted, before terrible corporate decisions caused them to tighten the purse strings)
  • Good healthcare
  • Flexible scheduling options, e.g., in office, hybrid, and remote options
  • Pretty good PTO availability
Cons
  • High leadership turnover.
  • Leadership seems greedy, making short-term decisions that line their pockets but tank public perception.
  • Too many layoffs.
  • No transparency.
  • Leadership dodges direct and important questions at town halls about layoffs and the future of the company.
  • Leadership tacitly uses threats of layoffs and ambiguous wording in emails to make you anxious and thus work unpaid overtime.
  • Using ambiguous wording in emails in general. Clearly, something bad happened or is going to happen; just tell us.
  • Leadership doesn't listen to its talented employees.
Advice to Management

Stop the layoffs. Instead, don't give yourselves bonuses and take pay cuts instead of getting rid of 25% of your company, including all of your recruiters who actually found you the excellent talent you currently have. And then, especially, don't hire more people after you just laid off 25% of the company.

Also, listen to your employees who told you that the Unity fee implementation in 2023 was a bad idea, which you did anyway, leading to you getting rid of 25% of the company.
