Pros

people were nice and decent benefits

Cons

\n my experience, the company has struggled with long-term stability. There have been repeated rounds of layoffs nearly every year over the past several years, which makes it difficult for employees to feel secure or plan for the future. Leadership continuity has remained the same throughout these changes, yet the underlying issues have persisted. For anyone considering a role here, it’s important to be aware of the ongoing uncertainty and evaluate whether this level of risk aligns with your career goals

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
