Vantaggi
Remote work was nice. Everything else was awful. Some severance when they lay you off.
Svantaggi
I worked for a company that was acquired by NTT. They told us for months that everyone would have a job and that NTT was acquiring us but intended to “do no harm”, but that was not the case. It was only a couple months after intergration into NTT that the layoffs started. They let a ton of great people go. They also dismantled the things that made the acquired companies good or special. Morale eroded. No one was happy. Everyone was constantly looking over their shoulder waiting for something else awful to happen. It’s disheartening to watch talented people get cut and the thing you built get dismantled. Raises got significantly smaller. Benefits were not as good. Good people got beat down and defeated.
