Prós
* Historically, a company people were genuinely proud to work for—strong culture, clear values, and a sense of loyalty
*I could have seen myself building a long-term career here and often spoke highly of the company to others
*Strong early-career development and brand recognition
Contras
*Erosion of trust driven by abrupt, poorly communicated decisions
*5-day in-office mandate for some offices rolled out with ~2 months notice, removing autonomy employees previously had, adding unnecessary strain to already demanding roles, and significantly disrupting employees’ day-to-day lives
*Parental leave benefits were significantly reduced in a way that feels misaligned with the culture and “family-owned” values the company has historically emphasized. This change has been a meaningful source of frustration and disappointment for many employees
*Poor communication on major changes—including benefits and office policy updates, which were not consistently or transparently shared
*Employee feedback does not appear to be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, even when concerns are raised through formal channels * The culture has shifted dramatically. What used to feel fun and energizing now feels rigid and overly monitored, with less trust and autonomy than before
*As a result, the company risks losing strong, previously loyal employees and becoming less competitive in attracting new talent
