Pros

Decent compensation. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Hardly any promotions due to budget cuts. Hires new college grads and lays off 40% of them within 2 years. Restructuring every 6 months. I used to look at it as some kind of semi-annual event.

Advice to Management

Come on, guys. Don't keep changing every six months.
