Pros

They will not be going away any time soon, so you have some stability if you are not on a team being laid off.

Cons

Middle management and PMs are generic MBA churn-outs that have no vision and are terrible people, generally.

Advice to Management

Fire all the middle managers, PMs, and VPs that are really doing no work at all. Let the L4, L5, and L6 get on with the actual work instead of making up roles for people that don't need to be there.
