Pros

So-called "Work and life balance"

Cons

When they layoff, the new hires are likely to become victims - happened to me in 2008. Looking in retrospective it is unclear what the motives are to open these positions in the first place, when the decision makes clearly knew what was coming. Beware when you get an offer from them!
