Pros

People are creative looking for novel solutions. There's still a desire to collaborate on new unknown things

Cons

Cuts have become quarterly and they aren't announced because management knows it looks bad. The feeling is your next regardless of anything because it appears the company is looking to split off all things and become some umbrella.
