Pros

Pay is very good and retirement plan is superb. Current CEO is a very decent guy.

Cons

Senior management no longer cares about employees. The end of work from home (and the loss of hundreds of good employees along with the horrible treatment of hundreds of others), the new open seating for all (though I’m betting senior management will keep their big offices behind locked doors with a security guard blocking access), the end of vacation days (“open vacation” just means less vacation), no raises for anyone earning over $150k (though according to public filings the big honchos all have received huge increases); and on it goes. I’ve been here since last century and this is as bad as it’s ever been - even worse than “black Monday” when 500+ people were all walked out the door with 15 minutes to clean out their desks.
