Pros

Incredible people to work with.

Cons

Low pay, layoffs constantly. I saw a team of new grads get laid off less than a year after graduation through no fault of their own. Terrible work environment due to constant fear of layoffs.

Advice to Management

Don't punish workers for being on projects that failed due to poor planning by managers. Punish the managers, not their engineers who worked hard on a poorly thought-out product.
