Fading culture and looming layoffs

Pros

Meaningful projects working with people Friendly, smart people to brush shoulders with

Cons

Fading company culture being replaced by even more bland corporate messaging. Dwindling opportunity for growth and emphasis on upskilling. Leadership forcing positive feedback to support “Back to Starbucks” initiatives Constant impending layoffs from executive greed Every team is expected to do more with less, faster
