Pros

There are really not many positives

Cons

Show zero care for employees with 5 day in office work mandate with 2 weeks notice from previously fully remote. They don't give any stock benefits other than managers and don't show much care for employees. Saxonburg is really in the middle of nowhere too so it's not a fun place to be. Literally have to drive by farmland to get to the office. New CEO came in and probably wants to lower headcount given this strict mandate.
