Pros

after almost 20 years, the promise of a severance package seems to be it.

Cons

No career advancement. Actively encouraged to not change roles or seek growth. Pay is sub par in the industry and zero potential for raises. Senior management has one tactic - cut expenses to boost stock price by laying off as many people as possible as often as possible, Layers of middle management have no clue how any of the products work or what brings in revenue, they just endless buzzwords to boost synergy. Senior management/executive only cares that middle managers lay off large groups every year to cut cost and call it 'profit' so the stock price goes through the roof, along with their comp packages. Meanwhile the workers create great products and revenue streams and client relationships that get thrown in the trash whenever convenient.
