Pros

Coworkers are more like family. I’ve had some amazing managers and mentors. Benefits are decent.

Cons

C-Suite has decimated the culture, morale and productivity with a TWO month rollout for salary headcount cuts. As employees we understand we work in a cyclical industry, and that cuts to headcount may be inevitable. This is more about the HOW this has been rolled out. You have EVERY single employee- outside of C-Suite - wondering if and when our turn at the gallows may come. TWO months of anxiety, fear, rumors and sleepless nights.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
