Pros

Some good pockets of talent and knowledge. Multinational Exposure / opportunities Good Paid Time Off Flexible work from home policy

Cons

The company is in extreme cost cutting mode. Investment is almost non existent and as a result no significant improvements are being made creating the feeling of a company running out of steam and starting to spiral down towards its' death. Lay offs are a normal event, cutting good people and essential skills. We all sit and wait for our turn to be laid off. Ironically a lot of people now want to be let go but there is no voluntary lay off program.
