Bait and switch

Pros

It used to be a great place to work, with great perks and empathetic co-workers. There used to be 4.5 day workweeks (every other Friday off) and remote work focused around some core hours. However, other than some lovely folks working there, these perks are no more.

Cons

Incredibly disorganized with no clear pathway to profitability. Mass benefit cuts, but no increase in pay. The 4.5 day workweeks are gone and the CEO just announced RTO with no clear justification. Poor work-life balance, and huge amounts of technical debt. They claim they have achieved recent profitability, but it's only because of mass cost reduction through layoffs, people leaving, and outsourcing.
