Pros

My department felt like a place where growth was really valued. I had a sense that they were investing in me as an employee. I felt that my manager was understanding and evaluated me fairly during annual reviews.

Cons

Company culture is extremely two-faced. They talk a big game about honesty, transparency, doing what's right, and valuing people. If that were the case, we wouldn't be celebrating our company's success one day and being laid off in scores the next day. The layoff was cruel, impersonal, and sudden, blindsiding everyone it affected, and has badly damaged company morale. I doubt the culture among the "little people" outside the executive team will ever really recover. Trust has to be earned. I would no longer recommend this company to anyone I know because it cannot be trusted.
