Pros

Great benefits, which you may expect from a large company. Flexible schedule

In my last 2 years as a manager, I released 30 people. If that isn't bad enough, I hired 15 people over the same period.

Very challenging, very broad range of technology.

Constant layoffs, furloughs, and work reductions. Management sent out memo that no men would be promoted: Only promotions would be women, minorities, and other.
