Pros
I work on a software development team at the Bloomington headquarters. The people I had worked with directly were truly the best part about my job. The people at Newscycle are the real reason anybody stays as long as they do at a company that underpays and has yearly layoffs.
Kontras
In January 2018, Newscycle announced they would be laying off the majority of R&D and replacing us with an office they've opened in India. Most of us were given a planned exit date, but out of those who did not, many chose to leave anyway. It's just not the same place to work for when you lose your entire team. Needless to say, our software development teams are undergoing massive change as we quickly dump decades of information into what's been a chaotic six month knowledge transfer. Leadership at the highest level is noticeably absent at this time. And you know it's bad when our managers with 20+ years of loyalty to this company decide they've had enough. Our teams are unrecognizable at this point, and there's no sense of confidence in the remaining workers of where management is going with all of this.
