Pros

Most of the assignments are challenging and interesting. There is always plenty of activity to occupy one's time. In general, the people I work with are good to be around, although morale has plummeted within the past couple of years.

Cons

Many jobs are being moved overseas, leading to poor internal morale in the US.

Management doesn't seem to be able to pick a path and stick with it. As a result, many employees just accept "this week's vision" knowing that, if they don't like it, it will change in another month or so.

Advice to Management

Lead, don't follow. Pick the path that you genuinely believe is the right one and stick with it.

Recognize that your employee base is an asset, and not simply a cost that must be managed.
