Pros

Seemed to be treated mostly with respect.

Cons

The company didn't understand the concept of having to pay for software development. They were very fast to outsource jobs to teams in other countries. The company is becoming a shell of a company in the USA, with teams all over the world.

The company likes to hire lots of contractors to perform development. It's becoming rare to be a full-time employee there.

Advice to Management

Treat your engineers as valued employees.
