Pros

Brand Name/Events / Benefits Plan

Cons

Restructuring and layoffs every year...Unplanned decisions even restructuring teams back to original way of reporting resulting in frequent firing and layoffs...Toxic middle level managers and highly political environment..be ready to have escalations on minor issues...instead of working together teams shift blames on each other ..You have to watch your back constantly...E.g Thrown in projects without any knowledge transfer and expected to excel from day one else will be escalated...Personal ego of Middle Managers takes precedence over Talent and Results..

Cons

lots of turnover, tight lipped environments, lots of people got laid off, company was struggling to find direction, etc. not a good environment to work and grow your career.

Pros

Small, solid and organically-growing revenue, rapid growth with unusual opportunity for movement. Competitive compensation.

Cons

Aggressive, full-company transition to product model stalled or potentially failed, turning into "product transformation theatre", with company-level outcomes, but myopic obsession with outputs - releases and dates - anywhere below the N-1 level. No one below N-2 in product has any meaningful relationship with customers. All "empowered teams" are staffed exclusively at the N-3 and N-4 level. So higher ups over-promise to customers, and then turn to their teams and demand that they produce beyond their capacity. It's a pressure-cooker.
