Pros

Competitive pay, used to have outstanding bonuses, work/life balance most of the time.

Cons

Changes strategy/direction yearly, invests virtually nothing in product development, and sacrifices quality and schedules for the lowest cost. It has headcount reductions quarterly, like death by a thousand paper cuts. You're always looking over your shoulder for boxes to be dropped in your cube, despite the value you add.

Advice to Management

Pick a strategy and stick with it.

Invest in the best people, and don't cut corners in product development.

Reward your best employees.
