Pros

Benefits, coworkers, not much else

Cons

Laying people off while continuing to hire high salary executives. Doing a hire freeze but still hiring depending on the department. It's kind of a disaster right now.

Pros

Remote work. Benefits. Constant fear of restructuring or mass layoffs.

Cons

Pay is not competitive to the market. If you can find something better, i.e. their competitors, then absolutely do it. They push ‘culture’ like no other, but have none when you look around. The management is so far out of touch, that they wonder why this pit of despair keeps getting deeper. Like everyone else has said, they have no long-term vision for the organization, thus putting themselves behind every quarter. They will cut whomever who falls out of the “vision” (if you call it that) instead of repositioning.
