DO NOT JOIN - LAYOFF happens frequent every year

Anonymous employee

Pros

There aren’t really any advantages. The management doesn’t seem to have clear plans for the next year or even the next 2–3 years. Layoffs happen frequently, almost every year. If you join and the management doesn’t have a plan for your role, you could be asked to leave on short notice. I’ve seen this happen to many people.

Cons

Before you join, they stay in frequent contact—calling regularly, suggesting casual meetups, even taking you out for lunch—to encourage you to accept the offer. However, once you’ve joined, you should be prepared for the possibility of layoffs with 1 year or 2 or any day.

Pros

Some colleagues and teams may still be professional.

Cons

Repeated layoffs and restructuring create instability. Poor transparency in employment decisions. Instability even after a contract was signed. Weak accountability when employee trust and security are at stake. Particularly harmful for employees whose immigration status depends on stable employment. The situation escalated further when I was asked to repay severance related to the earlier termination. Combined with the signed rehire contract and the uncertainty before the new start date, this created an extremely destabilizing and unprofessional experience.

Pros

There is no real pros, but many people bring their family and get them jobs without having any experience or related background. That can be a pro if you are that kind o people.

Cons

The company is sinking and in panic mode. Overall the company commit so many mistakes during the past 6 years after covid that all the money that we make during this period is gone, and they also lose any inovation capability by hiring young incompetent leaders and engineers, there is so many other companies that can make the product better, cheaper and faster, that is actually very surprising they can still make it to the revenue reports. Is most likely that the company will dissapear during the next 3 to 5 years, they are putting all their money and hope in to a new production method for their main product, the problem is that this new method and tech is garbage, they try to make it work for the past 10-12 years without success and is only fuel by product development directors ego and personal ambitions, the ceo fall for the scam and now is time to show a result of something that is just not there to the market, also to make it worst they adquire a crappy company a couple years back after they get desparate, with the promise that they will fix this new production method, and the people of this new company just took the money and run, now they are stuck with a expensive and useless machines that nobody can really modify or access because as usual this company lock down all their tech to prevent leaks ON THE SAME COMPANY!! that is the level of team trust. There is many bad companies out there, but not many that destroy completly their reputation and customer base in so little time, and so far there is no intention or the minimum reaction to try to avoid the fall. So good luck and hope they can do better when they finally start fixing all their structural problems.
