Pros

Before I left, the people were great. Before the acquisition, leadership was great.

Cons

Laid off a bunch of people without rhyme nor reason as to who was selected. Mass exodus ensued. Leadership makes decisions without consulting those in the trenches. Technological direction is backwards. Planning projects became impossible because decisions were made very high up and communicated via rumor and speculation. Leadership seems extremely disconnected from what's actually going on in the company. Culture degraded as people left. No longer felt like I had any stake in the company and was just there as a peon to do work passed down to me.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The company has significant issues that make it difficult to recommend as a long-term workplace. HR support is virtually non-existent, leaving employees without meaningful assistance when concerns arise. Favoritism appears to influence decisions more than performance or merit, creating an unfair work environment. There are very few opportunities for career growth, and many employees find themselves in stagnant roles with little chance for advancement. Even when employees consistently exceed expectations and earn recognition, raises are infrequent or nonexistent, making it difficult to feel valued for hard work. Additionally, there is a noticeable lack of professionalism at the management level. Communication, accountability, and leadership standards need significant improvement. Overall, the company would benefit from investing in stronger leadership, a more effective HR department, and a culture that rewards performance fairly.
