Pros

+ MINDays which means every other Fri off + some (few) good team members + it's a job and pays the rent

Cons

So many to list... - failed merger - multiple RIFs - shaky financials: 2022 and 2023 revenue performance significantly MISSED targets - depressed morale - incompetent leadership (lots of changing leaders which is both good and bad) - foolish business decisions; trying to do too much and failing - lots of benefit cuts and no raises communicated recently from the execs - they wait too long before acting and then act hard (such as no job duplication exercises when Ginger and Headspace merged...then a non-well execute RIF, then more to follow)
