Pros: Depth of resources, mostly skilled staff, variety of assignments, somewhat flexible work schedule if you do not travel.
Cons: Heavy management overhead, difficult to form relationships with immediate manager due to location differences, poor annual review process, too many administrative tasks.

Targeting of senior staff layoffs appear to be designed to avoid company liability to provide future or retirement benefits.
