Pros

My team mates are good, likeable people

Severance when you are laid off

Cons

Leadership can't help but outsource to India.

The work that isn't outsourced yet is stuff nobody wants to work on.

They keep laying people off in waves.

It is hard to care about making a quality product when leadership only cares about saving money.

The on-call rotation is noisy.

Advice to Management

Keep laying people off, this is a really good strategy
