Pros
  • Much freedom in how you work; you are not micro-managed.
  • Telecommuting has some benefits.
Cons

Management cared more about utilization (number of hours worked) than what is actually produced. There was no benefit to being efficient and hard-working.

Management cares more about the hourly rate of employees and thinks everyone is easily replaceable with cheap offshore labor.

Advice to Management

We need to understand that cheaper is not always better. Laying off top-performing Americans and keeping low-performing offshore employees may be the downfall of the company one day.
