Pros

In the past, this company offered genuine work-life balance, flexibility, and a competitive salary structure.

Cons

Management has "Lost the Plot": Leadership appears disconnected from the day-to-day reality of the business. Decisions feel reactive rather than strategic. Botched Layoffs: The layoffs in October were handled poorly. Despite the CEO claiming they were "long planned and thought out," the execution has been chaotic, suggesting otherwise. Lingering Uncertainty: Months later, there is no clear path forward for the remaining employees. Morale is low, and the "survivors" are left confused about their roles and the company's future.
