Restructurings, layoffs, poor placement

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible work schedule. Approachable manager. Most co-workers are awesome and deserve praise.

Cons

Constant layoffs from 2 different restructurings within a few year span. Although great severance from what I hear. In my case instead of being laid off I was recycled into a different position which I have stated I don't enjoy before and after placement. But hey that's business. There is also one problematic employee that I hear in not the only one that has issues with.
