Pros

Work-life balance is good.

Chance to work on industry-standard technology.

Company reputation is still good for a tech career.

Cons

Too many reorganizations hurt morale. Annual layoffs make employees wonder when I am going to be cut.

Lack of lateral move opportunities between orgs.

Benefits are good, not great.

Advice to Management

Figure out a coherent strategy instead of buying a bunch of companies that only sound fitting together on the surface. This kind of strategy needs to come from technologists, not salespeople.
