Pros

It used to be a great place to learn and grow. Now, most control is with a few old-timers, and decisions are often made without a proper understanding of the situation.

Cons

It was once a good company, but things have changed over time. Expectations have become unrealistic, and layoffs happen suddenly without clear reasons. People who simply agree with seniors tend to survive, even when leadership lacks proper knowledge or direction. The older acquired projects have no proper processes, and workplace politics are heavily influenced by certain leads. Overall, it may not be the best place for long-term career growth.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
