Pros

Decent Salary. Work from Home by default.

Cons

No employee loyalty; salary is researched and designed to be just enough to discourage churn. AI replacement for profit. Scheduling layoffs to manipulate stock price has become a business model. Different rules for different people. Nepotism reigns.
