Pros

The people you get to work with are supportive, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable and friendly

Cons

Management doesn't know how to control finances, hired contractors who cost 2X as much and get work done 2X as slow compared to full time employees. No real positive outlook or career development, basically just "need to make sure Delta succeeds" so the company can actually make a step towards profitability once more.

Pros

People are friendly, and work environment is clean.

Cons

Slowly taking away employee's benefit like WFH and required 50 hrs/week. Management is conflicting with each other and made bad decision because of schedule driven or lack of technical knowledge.
