Pros

OK, first job, you get to learn how to integrate software into a very process-driven company.

There are a lot of opportunities for improvement within the company, so there are years' worth of work out there for software devs.

Cons

The company as a whole has a very short-term focus.

Projects tend to be very short-sighted, and layoffs are often not objective.

Advice to Management

If you delegate layoffs to certain people, you can guarantee they are going to save their buddies, whether they deserve to stay or not.

If you are going to fire people, make it fair and transparent.
