Pros

The recently laid-off recruiters did a great job finding talent.

Cons

A lack of vision from the top creates a confusing work environment where expectations and project goals change from week to week. The content design management is particularly inept, and they won't think twice about blaming subordinates for their own bad management and lack of clarity. It wasn't always like this. It's been dramatically worse since Q2 of this year. The talent is there, but managed so poorly. Everyone seems to be unhappy, but the managers pretend everything's wonderful and love to pat themselves on the back. "YAY! I love my team! Now you're on a PIP."
