Pros

Reasonable salary and rewards, although this was mostly historical as a result of a buyover and transfer from another technology company.

Working from home.

Cons

Obvious desire to offshore as much work as possible, with no real care about ultimate quality.

All about getting work in the door; after that, it doesn't seem to matter what is actually delivered.

In order to progress up the ladder, work-life balance must be sacrificed.

The loudest and most arrogant tend to get the promotions; your actual performance is secondary to the noise you make about it.

Too many hangers-on and BS'ers who deliver very little but take home the bigger salaries.

Advice to Management

Offshoring delivers what you pay for. :-(

Value the real people doing the work, not the BS'ers.
