Pros

This company USED to be great! We had a great leadership style and open, collaborative work experience. Additionally, work life balance was ok. Everything shuts down at 5pm ET, which is nice.

Cons

Where to begin! Multiple layoffs within 2 years. It's clear the company WANTS people to leave, thereby making things challenging, like getting new tech, or forcing employees to work in offices with water damage and no trash pickup. Another example is hiring managers with no experience as to what the ICs actually do. Leadership has 14 (!) vague goals and it's not clear how what we do helps get to those goals. It's also unclear what leadership does to get to those goals. And those goals keep changing.

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
