Pros

Eventually they fire you and you don't have to work there anymore.

Cons

Outages every week that crushed customers. Customers forced to migrate to resell contracts against their will. Terrible support from overstretched collogues that are completely overwhelmed with work. No one knows what the prices of services are, pricing is a joke and takes weeks to get any numbers to customer because of triple/quadruple internal approval gates. Micromanagement to the extreme. You have to report a transcript of customer conversations to management daily. Every action you make has to be reported to management. Everyone faces unbelievable levels of scrutiny. This drives the culture into a cannibalistic frenzy where friends eat friends, and managers consume their own teammates. Delivery is horrendous, the worst delivery team I have every worked with. I think is because they are stretched so, SO thin. "We put people first" is a direct quote from the CEO made the same week they started mass layoffs.

Pros

Remote work, vacation, coworkers are usually pretty chill, 3 months on the bench to look for a new job before you're laid off

Cons

10-11K planned to be laid off this year and they aren't going after the worst performers, they're just cutting out whatever section looks good in excel. Poor profitability. Constant reorgs. Say they're a flat organization but keep getting more and more vertical. the last manager I got transferred to took months to have a meeting with my group and when he did, it was only to let us know we were getting cut, never-mind that we had a presentation on how to save a couple million on a type of software license that the company had to have to do business. They still use a stacked ranking for employee review, so if your whole team had an outstanding year and surpassed every goal, only 5-10% will be graded as outstanding and 10-15% will get expects more. Even when I got into that 5-10% exceeds, the raise for that year was still only 2%. One year I got a promotion from band 4 to 5, still only a 2% raise. Your pay will be as flat as a plains state. After 15+ years in this company, it feels like leaving an abusive relationship. Yes, it's not all bad, but you have to recognize that it still wasn't good for you.
