Pros

Smart colleagues, and interesting work.

Cons

Terrible, horrible, no-good very bad culture. No strategic initiatives that make sense. The echo chamber stifles all creativity. It is pure poison. Growth is from window dressing old offerings and acquisitions, the culture stifles innovation. No rewards or bonuses commensurate with the long hours and demanding work but as the headlines scream overpaid CEO takes care of himself. All good talent flees.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
