Pros
  • Work-life balance
  • Pay
Cons

Laying off teams as a whole without assessing the impact. This leaves many projects without owners, and later, no one knows what to do with them.

People getting laid off right after a performance review of exceeding expectations.

Seen people crying in the office multiple times. It is not a great feeling.

Advice to Management

Take accountability and consider employees as humans. They are not just numbers.
