Top-heavy management and over-worked employees

Pros

Good pay (if you're not a contractor, otherwise you'll be grossly underpaid) It's a global company, so it looks great on a resume

Cons

Company is top-heavy. Large layoffs every quarter end just to (falsely) inflate quarter end numbers causes the remaining employees to take on enormous amounts of work. Employees are working 60+ hours EVERY week, month over month trying to reach goals that are completely out of reach so that upper management can pocket big bonuses.
