Pros

There really aren't any at this point

Cons

They treat their people like disposable resources, apparently know very little about running a profitable business, spend tons of money chasing trends (AI, metaverse, NFTs & Web3, etc), then fire the competent, billable people when they come up against budget shortfalls. They'll fire managers, then promote people from their teams without backfill or pay raises, and make them do their old jobs in addition to their new management responsibilities.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
