Pros

Great people to work with Interesting technical challenges to solve Great deal of autonomy on how to tackle problems Nice culture (before takeover!)

Cons

Mass redundancies Loss of strong technical talent due to redundancies / attrition Seemingly no clear direction Moving to a model where most of the development work is done by external contracting companies both domestically and internationally (China) Untruthful management - during the redundancy period, employees were told that no decision was final and that there would be a consultation period. However prior to this date, the CEO had already confirmed to the media that redundancies had taken place.
