Pros

Learn how to milk a monopoly through political gamesmanship.

Cons

I work in IT and feel employees are treated like third-world citizens to a menagerie of consultants, third-party contractors, and outsourced workers.

The infighting of the VPs and structure of the various divisions make it impossible to "ship".

We have been sitting on software for almost a year.

The official line is that marketing hasn't provided an "approved" icon for release.

So we continue to sit and wait.

Advice to Management

Save your income, because the economic storm and continuing price wars will force the company to shed the inefficient, wasteful layers of overhanging management.
