Great People, confused leadership

Pros

The teams I have worked for have been made up of great folks. And of course, there's the free food, fabulous coffee, gym accessibility, and good medical coverage.

Cons

Management seems to go through much churning. Pick a path and stick to it, people! Also, the teams I have been on seem to be heavily skewed towards the engineering side, with art and design sometimes being given short shrift. Also, the advancement plan seems haphazard and unclear, and now that the quarterly bonuses are not being given, no real effort has been made to provide any kind of cost-of-living pay increases, even though we live in one of the most expensive parts of the country.

Pros

The people, the food, the gym and in general the perks.

Cons

Difficult to move up on the chain. Depending on project it may have good or terrible PMs. Life balance can be hard. I could keep on going but in my opinion, the most important one is how unstable it is, it went in two years from 3400 or so, to 1600 employees. With layoffs being done about once per year, and being at least 15% of the workforce.
