Not a good company to work for anymore

Senior applications engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers, some technologies are solid, used to be a great working environment

Cons

Behaving like a sinking ship, becoming a toxic environment to work for, every quarter there is a layoff, the top guy has become too greedy- a valley renowned face of just causes now only cares about money and money, not his employees. Got tax breaks from Trump only to lay off in the US and hire in Iow cost areas. Soon to be sued as only employees over 50 are shown the door.
