Pros

Some employees still remaining are hardworking and seem to care about the mission.

Cons

Constant layoffs: Long-tenured and valued employees are being laid off, possibly to avoid paying out bonuses. Operational cuts: Operations have been reduced to the bare minimum, placing enormous pressure and stress on the remaining employees. Outsourcing: American jobs are being moved to other countries, further undermining the workforce. Management's focus on the bottom line: Management's decisions are driven solely by profit, neglecting the impact on employee morale and company culture. Corporate managers with no morals are being brought in to further slash costs and squeeze, disregarding the human element. Constant anxiety: The slow trickle of layoffs creates a persistent sense of uncertainty and anxiety among remaining staff. Decline in company culture: The company is now a mere shadow of its former self, with a noticeable decline in its core values and culture. Questionable reviews: The sudden influx of five-star reviews seems dubious and does not reflect the current state of the company. Overall, it's truly disappointing to see a once great company being hollowed out by private equity influence. The current direction is unsustainable and detrimental to both employees and the company's legacy.

Pros

There are great people at this company, unfortunately they're not the ones leading or making the decisions that ultimately affect everyone else.

Cons

Too many to list. The new CEO came in and immediately started putting his buddies in leadership positions. Instead of focusing on solving the issues with products and addressing communication between departments, he seems preoccupied with employee surveillance and outsourcing roles to India. Profit over people. So much talent and knowledge out the door and the company is just turning into another corporate machine. If you're looking for longevity or just a nice place to work, this isn't the company for you.
