Pros

Competitive salary and benefits package. Opportunity to work with talented, knowledgeable, and dedicated colleagues.

Cons

Recent rounds of layoffs have significantly impacted employee morale and engagement. The restructuring process lacked transparency and left many employees uncertain about the company’s direction. Support and resources provided to impacted employees could have been stronger, and many employees struggled to understand the rationale behind certain workforce reduction decisions. Ongoing communications regarding additional layoffs over the next several years have further contributed to anxiety and uncertainty within the organization. As a result, trust in leadership and confidence in the future of the company have been challenged. Many employees also felt that valuable talent, expertise, and institutional knowledge were lost during the restructuring process.
