Great place to work, but real unstable. Not for the faint hearted

Pros

Best bosses I've ever had. Best tools, best pay and best bonuses. Best opportunities for job rotation, self development and career building.

Cons

Consultations and work force reductions ongoing constantly. That means that no job security, and no organizational security, and no working peace because everything (organization, people) around you is constantly changing. Half the time I feel I need to get a new job FAST because I can't take this sort of stress about keeping my job in a less than optimal economy with a family to support.
