Pros

Colleagues are great, excellent benefits

Cons

New CEO is so hyper-focused on appealing to investors that he’s lost sight of the bigger picture. What used to be an exciting and innovative company is now weighed down by an absurd amount of micromanagement from the highest levels. Employees are no longer rewarded for doing excellent work, they are now rewarded for simply being “yes men”.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
