Pros

I am so happy to have such wonderful colleagues. They really make the sting from everything else less painful. In addition, the aims of the products are noble.

Cons

This place has gone downhill so quickly it is hard to fathom. When I started, I was proud to work here. I was amazed at the folks committed to the mission, the products we had, and the customer satisfaction we provided. This has all ceased to exist. Every facet of the company is completely understaffed. The folks at the top do not seem to understand that when you spread yourself too thin, cut costs, and cut people, things will not run the way they used to. And the worst part is, no one seems to care. Things are no longer working as they should– things clients pay good money for. Staff are being laid off, and new hires come from overseas. We are constantly being gas-lit for how well our company is doing and how we are on the cutting edge of technology. This could not be further from the truth. It is disingenuous to tout how great everything we provide is when mission-critical gaps plague the work we provide the clients– and upper management refuses to restaff or reallocate work to appropriately address them.

Pros

There are still many talented and hardworking employees there.

Cons

Constant restructuring, layoffs, and uncertainty. Pride themselves on objective unbiased reporting, yet now they want to enter into prediction markets. 25% layoff right before Q1 ended. Leadership executed a reverse stock split that heavily eroded shareholder value, only for the stock to continue falling and the company to be delisted from the NYSE shortly thereafter.
