Pros

Great work culture.

Good management of work-life balance.

Great support from colleagues.

Technically sound people, so a lot to learn.

Cons

Too much panic in the upper management.

Insecurity in the minds of employees because of frequent layoffs.

Too many stupid decisions taken in too little time, and going nowhere even after doing that.

Wasting talent, letting go brilliant minds who end up joining competitors.

Advice to Management

Please, please, please act wisely. Firing people is easy. Winning the trust of good people is not.
