Pros

I have survived, although many hundreds of my long-time associates have been laid off.

Work from home options are good, but vary by division.

Cons

Salary, absence of raises or bonuses. Give people stock options to make them feel good, then lay them off before options vest. Give incremental promotions to people to make them feel good, but with zero increase in compensation.

Advice to Management

When your Exec tells you that you can have another slot to fill with a new headcount, ask if you can instead use the funds to give some incremental raises/bonuses to your existing headcounts. You'll be amazed how much more work gets done by your existing headcounts!
