Pros

Pays well. Excellent benefits and lots of perks (including a local gym). High integrity. Very flexible (work from home at times).

Cons

Constant layoffs. The company is going through a transformation, and several people have been laid off over the last few years.

Managers do not work as hard and keep their jobs. Engineers are usually those that end up being laid off.

Advice to Management

Get more involved in the day-to-day activities of engineering.

Management could actually be more proactive in terms of helping engineers relocate to other departments/teams before giving layoff termination to employees.
