Pros

Home office. Varied projects. A pizza gift card was given one Christmas. The boss says "go home early" at the end of the day before a holiday. The boss buys drinks and dinner for the team 2 to 4 times a year. Flexible hours. Usually, no one is looking over your shoulder.

Once a month, there are team meetings.

Cons

Spread out across the globe. Each person for themselves. Technically incompetent leaders. Can't understand heavy accents or fast talking Indians. Lacking networked architecture before software solutions are expected. The holiday party consisted of a meeting on the phone. No preliminary meetings to prepare and unite as a team for in-house customer service visits.

Advice to Management

If it truly is not in you to have your team's interest in mind, go to acting class and put on a good facade.
