Too much work and too many levels.

Review from Product Dept
What do you like best about your company?
The opportunities given to me that help me to learn new skills. Also, loved that I had the freedom and management support to take on opportunities that I discovered on my own.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Unfortunately, leadership seems to think that laying off people will help the company be more profitable. This seems to be the current trend for a lot of companies. I survived a couple of layoffs and the third one, I didn't. After 16 years, I went to my 13th boss. Unstable for me.
