Pros

Good benefits, Sabbatical and 7/4 / Christmas holiday breaks were great.

Cons

They're in a tough position since AI isn't bringing in new revenue. They're letting people, orgs and whole locations go piecemeal so that they don't have to announce company-wide layoffs. They're amping up internal pressure to act more like the Meta and Netflix and ruthlessly cut experienced employees for cheaper
