Pros

Opportunities to own projects and to shine.

No obligation to work long hours.

Technically interesting work.

Cons

Extra unwritten required skill: emotional intelligence.

Teamwork skills are lacking in staff.

Long-serving staff have little experience working in other workplaces.

Emotion, rather than reason, gets you heard.

You must watch your back.

Offshoring is on the increase.

Advice to Management

Respect and listen to your colleagues, especially when they are experienced (which you have seen on their CVs!). Look at the facts, not the emotions.
