Pros

Reasonable flexibility in work hours, not micro-managed, decent pay, pretty good benefits.

Cons

Morale is spiraling downward: no bonus this year in spite of $1B profit, 10% of the workforce being laid off with little or no notice, employees forced to replace their overseas outsourced replacements in order to get their meager severance pay, executive management making millions while everyone else's salaries are stagnant and our stock price is falling continuously. Constant reorg over the last 2 years has everyone confused and disorganized.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
