Pros
- I haven't been laid off (yet). - I'm getting a paycheck. - Benefits are decent, though they are expensive. - New CEO said we could expect quarterly raises if we deserve it, but we'll see... - Just restructured a loan from the acquisition (which is apparently a good thing, even though it tanked our stock price AGAIN). - The end.
Cons
- Seemingly constant layoffs for the past year with no end in sight. - New CEO who not only has zero strategy (other than not backfilling people to drive costs down, and telling everyone that we he doesn't want us here if we're not motivated right now) or goals (he talked about the importance of goal setting in the all hands, then when asked a question about his goals, he admitted he didn't have any!), but he doesn't barely communicate at all. Nearly half our C-suite has left and there's not been a word about it from him. - Sierra acquisition has absolutely killed our stock value. - We're losing good talent everywhere - Cost cuts are the only thing we seem to be doing to make our numbers, when it seems like every time I turn around, there's another 10 people gone in our sales team. - EVERYONE is paranoid about their jobs and I don't know one person who isn't actively looking to leave.
