Pros

Work with a highly knowledgeable team. Remote work available for some.

Cons

Frequent re-orgs and layoffs, leaving teams struggling with the loss of SMEs and long hours. Moving a high percentage of jobs to India. High-cost medical benefits, 401(k) match – but only if you are still employed at year-end.

Advice to Management

Take time to identify critical resources, versus throwing out entire teams. Provide real follow-the-sun 24/7 support. Often, people have to wait for resources on the other side of the world, slowing response to critical issues.
