Fantastic product! No clear vision, annual layoffs, abhorrent senior management, what could go wrong?

Pros

Decent work/life balance. WFH is a great option as they have no real offices to go to anyway

Cons

Several years of annual 4th quarter layoffs are very damaging to morale. Lack of focus on what originally made the company great and being several years behind trends has killed the company. Every time they bring someone new in (which is quite frequently over these last 10 years or more) they spend the time telling everyone how we're going to change and be great and refuse to listen to and work WITH the experienced engineers and visionaries that the company already has on staff (and have beaten into submission to just running in place until they can retire).
