Pros

Amazing benefits, even as the rest of the world is offering dwindling benefits.

A regimented employee review process: you never have to wonder where you stand.

Excellent talent: once you are in, you know you are among the best.

Superior technology: cutting edge, forefront of all that the world has to offer.

Cons

Forced rank system: employee review is a double-edged sword. You have to perform to stay in the pool. This is not a con if you perform well.

Advice to Management

Labor may be cheaper in developing countries, but what is the ultimate cost to productivity?

Invest more in agile development, continuous integration, and employee development, regardless of where the employee resides.

Attainable goals versus arbitrary deadlines.
