Great people, unfortunate processes
Pros: The people that I worked with are great, talented, and committed individuals.  There are more than one leader there I would be willing to take a pay cut to work for again.  The projects were challenging, and because if those leaders I was able to constantly grow.  The best one even pushed me hard out of my comfort zone to grow faster.
Cons: There is a wide disconnect between the partners and their direct reports who run the day to day efforts of getting results for the clients and the middle and upper management - and it has gotten worse over time.

Being a high performing individual is no protection against being laid off as part of a broad action based solely on band or job title.  If you larger group missed earnings, good luck.
