I was let go from SAS while I was on LTD. I had 16+ years with the company and was totally shocked.

Pros

The not always challenging the work can be interesting. The medical benefits are really good. The offices and ergonomics are second to none. However, they created many individual desert islands!

Cons

No common direction. Competition between divisions is encouraged and rewarded from the top causing animosity in the ranks. Not to mention a waste of time and energy to the division that loses the competition.
