Pros

I can make up to 50% of time working from home and take care of my kids.

Cons

After someone says 'raise the bar', everyone is working to reach that blurred bar. For teams making less profit, there are always several unlucky individuals being managed out with lite/PCP/PIP processes. Though they never admitted that there was a fixed rate of managing people out, it was observed that in some teams the number was up to 10% in one semester.
