Company has lost it way...
Pros: Good benefits.  Outstanding professionals in the company.  It used to be an outstanding company that valued their employees.
Cons: Managers are looking out for themselves and not employees.   Product strategy changes? You may be out of a job.  They may give you a low rating (first one in your long career) to force you out.  Same review cycle, I received positive feedback from VP.   Manager bullied employees so they would leave.  Blocked from going to HR to report behavior.  Manager made decision on which projects each employee received.  High billable projects taken away and replaced with low billing/no billable projects, which hurt billable expectations in performance review.   Suggestions to improve outcomes were ignored.  An "emperor without clothes" syndrome.  High turnover in dept. as a result and by design.
