Constant Layoffs
Pros: Flexible work from home arrangement.  No micromanagement.  Managers expect you to take initiative and base your ratings on volunteering for projects.
Cons: Systems administrators/Support team are low on the totem pole and don't get much respect.  Don't expect raises, even when you've achieved your commitments.  Layoffs are a common occurrence.  Contractors are also expected to take furloughs when layoffs occur, so that fewer people are left to do the work.  You will work many hours on weekends.
