Pros
My colleagues are knowledgeable, kind, and generally a pleasure to work with.
Cons
Making employees redundant (layoffs) seems to be the only lever upper management knows to pull. In my opinion, they seem to aspire to run a company without employees. As a result, the mood in the office is dreadful. Morale is about as low as I've ever personally experienced it in my professional life. Cost-of-living adjustments are seemingly nonexistent amid high inflation. I find little evidence that retention is a priority amongst the senior leadership team. Thinking and philosophy, especially around AI, are seemingly quite rigid. Tough questions are, in the minds of many, often met with a dodge during rare opportunities to question decision-makers. It is telling that everyone (both employees and senior leaders) seems to be unhappy during and after Q&A events.
