Pros

You learn that previous employers weren't as bad as you thought.

Cons

You CANNOT trust them. They acquired us with the usual spiel about being excited to work together etc. Then communication dried up. Bonuses were delayed with little or no communication, what there was was outright lies. Eventually paid, but they decided to change rules and withhold from some (not me, but...) Then they delayed pay rises, no communication. Then they asked us to elect employee representatives "to communicate important issues from time to time". Day N, election complete. N + 1, you guessed, redundancy! If you are being acquired, get your CV updated. They will lie, pick over the carcass of your once proud happy workplace, and move on to the next victim. Don't say you weren't warned.

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.
