Pros

Pay and benefits are good, people for the most part are helpful

Cons

Management gives you a false sense of security. Everything seems to be going well, then layoffs. Bad hiring management, a large number of staff were hired only months before their most recent round of layoffs in April. No clarity on size of RIF but looks to be about 20%. Seems like layoffs are the norm as they can’t figure out their staffing needs.

Pros

Positive work/life balance when I'm off, I am completely off. The remote schedule let me relocate to better my life to a more affordable cost of living area. Everyone in the organization feels like we're working towards something groundbreaking and inspiring. Managers set achievable goals for all their team members.

Cons

Leadership can hold things close to the chest which can have a hand in making some employees feel unsure about job security.
