Pros

Good salary, benefits package, teamwork, and opportunities for training and upskilling.

Cons

Random layoffs at least twice a year, with general rumors about timing, impacted departments, and the number of cuts.

Then, a general announcement, but no specifics for weeks. Work stops, and anxiety is high. It's not a fun work roller coaster ride. I cannot recommend it in good conscience.

Advice to Management

Implement a no-layoff policy for full-time employees.

Manage variable labor needs using contractors.
