Pros

They pay decent money, but really not the best money. You get to commiserate with others who are stuck in the same situation you are.

Cons

Everything is a con. RTO, politics, layoffs, forced attrition quotas, blocked promotions, "do more with less", and generally just a horrible place to work.

Advice to Management

Fire the CEO and hire someone who can reverse his anti-employee policies.
