Pros

I still have a job. For now.

Cons

Everybody is panicking after massive RIFs. Work is piling up with no relief in sight. A whole layer of management has been ripped away and there is no guidance or direction from leadership. The layer of management that remains (formerly, two steps up) is great at consultant-speak but has little understanding of the work we do and nothing useful to contribute. Rumors of more random cuts. No idea when or where.

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.

Pros

Great people Strong client base

Cons

- Lack of strategic alignment at the top of the house. - Senior Executives and VP’s are out of touch with the real work and forced to make changes that do not align with business goals - Internal mobility decline. Employees are only able to accept internal positions if they reside near an office/hub. As a result of this we are losing great talent for other orgs.
