Pros

Free food if you don't get laid off.

Cons

They don't respect their employees. They announced they were going to lay off people but not how or when we would know about it, keeping tens of thousands of people in limbo for months. They expected them to work as efficiently and do their best when these employees didn't know if they would be deported, if they would be able to feed their children, or if they had to suspend their family planning (and potentially lose their last chance of having one).

They could have at least informed those at risk during that time, since the lists were already defined, but they chose not to.

What was cool about Google for many years was that it was a different company. Now it's not. It's just an evil, empty corporation.

Advice to Management

Plan for losing all the talent. No one wants to work here anymore.
