Pros

It must have been a great place without which they can not get so many good people. Certainly compensation and Benefits are good.

Cons

None of the Compensation and benefits are worth the constant pressure and hanging sword. Company is in downturn which is not a big deal. Question is how you manage it. Senior Management seems to have no clue whatsoever on what's going on Ground...basically in this environment they don'f find time to see on ground.. All they do is to manage Bosses and keep your Job safe because no one is safe. IT Senior Management is perfect example of this .. "No Clue on what's going on ground but manager bosses well. They have additional challenge of NO Understanding of how IT works But who cares they manage their bosses well" CEO who was once looked as a BIG Hope seems hopeless to me .. How can you run company with deliberate constant hanging sword.. OK you need to layoff people to keep business intact... we get it .. Do it once and send communication that we are Good now ..What's point in keep threatening people every month about upcoming layoffs. All this of course creates huge impact on day to day work and causes more serious problems for company.

Pros

Consistent scheduling, hours, decent pay for newer people with little experience.

Cons

Management is poor, honestly think they are crooks. They think they are smarter and that your concerns mean little to them.
