Pros

The company has given away the things that made it a net positive to work for. The only thing I can think of at this point is if you survive without being laid off long enough to be fully vested the 401K match is nice.

Cons

Every 3-5 years a new round of company leaders will recycle old ideas to save profits like offshoring positions or laying off people who have been there for decades. You won't get clear communication from leadership, and any social initiatives pushed by the company were dropped the second they became inconvenient. They don't stand for anything, and it's become obvious that you don't want to be a senior leader as they are routinely dropped the second they need to save some money. Advancing to a C band or higher is not safe at this company.
