You are disposable no matter how well you perform
Pros: -Good culture & surrounded by intellectual people 
-Learned a lot
-Good benefits
Cons: After working 65+ hour weeks and traveling every week for over a year, I was at 95% utilization and my performance reviews were great for the year. I walked into my yearly review with my partner thinking the conversation was going to go really well based on the feedback I was receiving from my managers.  My partner then informed me that I was being laid off. Gave no reason as to why they made this decision. Didn't say it was because of poor performance on my part or low earnings or anything. I was in complete shock. I wish I could attribute it to myself, but I know for a fact I did not deserve to be treated this way. There was no indication whatsoever that this would happen. Later, I learned that the group wasn't performing well and there were several layoffs. No matter how hard you work, they only care about the bottom line. Go work for a company that actually cares about their employees and has a little more job security for high performers.
