Pros

Good pay and good benefits (golden handcuffs)

Cons

Terrible upper management that doesn't ever let the employees know what is going on in the company. Job cuts are regular, without warning, and don't take performance into account at all. Tons of lackluster employees float by, hidden in teams, picking up their slack. High-performers in the wrong areas wake up to text messages saying, "Check your email," and they are laid off. Meanwhile, management receives plenty of notice to begin looking for jobs and is given extravagant compensation and praise for the "great work."
