Pros

Lots of free food

Cons

- Not just that several rounds of down-sizing across the organization have created chaos and unsafety and the moral is low, but also people feel like going to the office feels like attending funeral everyday! - Loss in trust of the leadershop. I don't want to get to the details of this, but the way leadership made decisions on layoff people has been disapointing! - Putting company ahead of employees. I see a lot of people around me were treated unfairly. So many examples!

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
