Pros

Was once a great company with a clear vision. Some incredibly smart people work here.

Cons

Leadership has cleaned house, which led to pushing out many top individual contributors. Batches of layoffs every year for the past few years. Priorities change on the daily, no real clear direction. Many departments across the company can’t seem to stabilize before upper management throws yet another massive undertaking of a project with unrealistic deadlines. Morale is at an all time low, work loads are at an all time high.

Pros

At one time, there were lots of positive aspects to the company and my role in particular. There are still a few good people left to make a positive impact on the company's future. Pay for some roles has improved. If you can get on the right team, it can be a good place to be. An IPO down the road, maybe.

Cons

There are a lot more Cons these days. Company leadership claims to care about employees, but then lays off a good number of tenured and experienced leaders, including someone preparing to start chemotherapy. (That person got re-instated once outrage online was felt.) I expect more to voluntarily leave after the last wave of layoffs. The benefits aren't great. The non-compete agreement is egregious.

Thought Leadership, Good Quality Professional Services, can help across the entire attack surface
