Pros

Pros doesn’t matter if you dont provide job security and peace of mind to your employees

Cons

Frequent layoffs, you will always be worried about your job here, every few months they do layoffs. Lot of micro management, even they will track your commits, PR reviews, line of code done, they are tracking efforts based on quantity not quality, even after so many micromanagement, they are frequently doing the layoffs, very unstable environment, I wont recommend anyone to join this company.

Pros

My team was supportive and did their best.

Cons

Does not set up employees for success. Is fueled by overwork and burnout. Is not honest or consistent in expectations. Employees are leaving at an alarming rate. Management laid off hundreds of people right before Christmas, and it seems now like they are back on the hiring again. This is a huge cycle with them - lay offs, accuse employees of not doing enough, more lay offs, scramble because there's no one to do the work, backtrack the "important" changes like taking away bonuses etc, hire less skilled & often outsourced staff for less money, layoff again. It seems like their newest strategy is to extract as much money from customers and employees as possible to line the pockets of the C level team assembled from cronies of the new CEO.
