Pros

The people who are left are amazing but their time is coming... Everyone knows it but they are doing their best with what they have left.

Cons

The layoffs are frequent, without warning, and without communication. They continue to lay off tremendously bright and wonderful people who have given their whole career to MK only to be left with extremely subpar severance packages. The benefits continue to worsen. They used to be Best in Class. Now they are average at best. Even with the layoffs, there's not much career advancement possible.
