Not a place for work stability

Pros

Work from home options and free lunch.

Cons

Too many layoffs. No matter how good you perform you get laid off. You get a performance award this month and then let go the next month. Performance doesn't matter.

Not what it use to be

Pros

Great, smart people who are the glue holding this company together. Some of the perks are ok, catered lunches, flexible schedule.

Cons

While we work with very smart people, management keeps letting them walk out the door. The product is crap and even after promises of improvements nothing has improved. Communication between teams and with the company overall is very poor. Launches and execution of new products often fail and we tend to underperform compared to most of our competitors. Leadership and the exec team are the main culture problem. Employees are not appreciated and we are short staffed all around.
