Pros

Pay is good. I have a hunch that some people are reviewing that the pay should be better just to try to get the company to give higher raises. Pay is at least on par in my opinion for me. HR has seemed to work hard doing their part to make the work environment enjoyable and I appreciate that. There are some good people here who work hard and support their team. It could be worse.

Cons

Recent layoffs. 2 layoffs in the last year kind of have people on edge it seems. I just sort of have this weird feeling that its not over either. Something doesn’t add up there with leadership rationale about it. Not a fan of the newer leadership in general (since 2022 ish). Meetings feel disingenuous to me and some others I have chatted with. Some cronyism going on. Unlimited vacation is a joke. Some people take too much and others take next to none. I’ve seen vacation shaming from a couple leaders in particular.
