Pros

Rotation Program for an employee to have a chance to switch careers.

Benefits are industry standard, but on the medium tier.

Cons

Education reimbursement is on a boss-approval basis. If your boss does not support it, you pay for your education out of pocket, even if it is work-related.

Your promotion is 90% or more based on your boss's decision. 10% or less is based on feedback that you received from people you have worked with and colleagues. Even if you think you have contributed a lot, and your boss does not appreciate it, you are not getting a promotion.

Advice to Management

A top-heavy environment creates a contempt/disdain chain. The company is still very bloated after the lay-off.
