My typical XCOM Enemy Unknown Tactics: two assaults to clear buildings, get in close and personal, and use their defensive skills to survive, two snipers to clear open spaces with Squad Sight, one Support Medic and one rocket specialist Heavy to deal with Sectopods and destroy cover should the need arise.

The two close range specialists clear enclosed spaces and prevent the enemy from ambushing the long range snipers at close range while said long range fighters are sniping enemies in open spaces, and the Support Party Members do whatever they do to support the squad.
