Poor leadership and frequent layoffs overshadow the salary

Pros

I am thinking about this…

Cons

Poor leadership. Frequent small layoffs that you don’t hear about. You find someone got laid off when you can’t find names as email recipients. I(n the past few years the company has been letting go of the more senior, higher salaried employees. Salary lower than industry. Oh, and politics.
