Not what it once was
Pros: Global company. Work with great people from around the world. 100% work from home. Good vacation package with standard holidays and some floating holidays to accommodate everyone's needs. Decent work live balance.

Good place to spend a few years to pick up some skills but don't plan to spend your career here.
Cons: Always looking over your shoulder wondering if you will be part of the next blood letting.
Reducing costs by moving work offshore or to H1B visa workers even though skilled workers are plentiful via US citizens . 
Resource Actions are not a layoff as your job is gone and they will not be calling you back if there is need.
Force RA'd(fired) persons to train their offshore or H1B visa replacements to get severance package.
First Line Managers are puppets for upper management. 
People do not share in an attempt to keep a leg up on their peers.
All the old buzz words like Respect for the individual are history. You are a commodity and not a person.
Moving to another position could be a death sentence. 
Raises are few and far between for all but those considered to be top contributors. 
The salary range keeps moving down for all levels below the letter execs.
Ranking is certainly not dead here.
