Pros

Flexible working hours and work from home policy. Interesting and growing industry. Competent individual contributors.

Cons

Top-down decision-making with expectation to work and respond to colleagues 16x7x360, including holidays and vacations. Management by intimidation stifles empowerment and open discussion. Continual, bi-monthly layoffs catch loyal and knowledgeable employees off guard, creates a culture of chronic fear and low morale.
