Pros

Good pay. Cool projects to work on.

Cons

Bad work-life balance.

Everyone is stressed about being laid off, and people are not passionate because of this.

Advice to Management

If you want to create great products, people should be passionate about what they are working on. This cannot happen if you are constantly worried about being laid off.
