Perhaps too lean and shrinking

Pros

Coworkers are very talented individuals. Immediate supervisors are competent. Lots of interesting work.

Cons

Upper management is on a cost reduction spree and that means first your backup, then your position. Every time someone leaves they don't replace that person, so that means more work and stress for everyone. A single person can only plug so many holes in a ship...

Pros

Great company to work for. Flexible hours and great management.

Cons

Too many entities are lumped together so if one area is doing great and the rest are poorly they are all combined which makes it look like they all are suffering when that is not the case.
