Business Outlook

Pros

Nice offices, average benefits, people are generally nice, some teams have work/life balance

Cons

Very old school company, not very innovative, super behind on AI. Post layoffs, workloads increased for employees that stayed - there was no actual plan to restructure the company, just cut costs. Bad leaders / people face no repercussions / performance management.
