      Pros

      No forced RTO. Still have free lunch 1x per week.

      Cons

      Execs do no care about workers. Happiness surveys that reflect poorly on leadership are buried instead of used to make things better. Process is more important that results. If you don't get the right people behind you, it doesn't matter whether or not you've already got a proof of concept working. Morale was poor, then they laid off 12% of the company and reduced benefits.

      Pros

      Work life balance, benefits, co-workers,

      Cons

      The organization is changing rapidly - it seemed to change faster than the time it would take to evaluate whether changes put in place were effective.
