Pros

The people you are working with are top-notch. If you are on a good team, it will be more like family. Managers are generally not micro-managers. They are very inclusive as well.

Cons

The company doesn't seem to use good predictive methods in hiring. When they're doing well, they hire too many people. Then they get bogged down and have layoffs. They have a layoff cycle, averaging every 5 years or so. That can be very stressful if you are in charge of a family.

Advice to Management

Having fewer layers of management would be nice, like 5 layers instead of 15 layers.
