Pros

Fewer and fewer pros as time goes by. If your first and second line managers are good, they can help your career and treat you fairly. There are fewer and fewer of them left.

Cons

Working conditions and morale are eroding faster and faster. Multiple, ongoing layoffs are very hard on the people left behind, who must pick up the slack while looking over their shoulder expecting to be in the next round of layoffs. Advantages like flexible work - from - home arrangements are disappearing.
