Pros

Had a competent and caring manager. Made some decent contacts with colleagues. Work environment was mostly friendly with lower level employees.

Cons

Senior management was incompetent. Poor business forecasting. One day you're being told the company is doing well, the next day you hear second-hand that a round of layoffs just occured.
