Pros

Good compensation and benefits for employees.

Cons

Impersonal, and an environment where everyone is worried about the next layoff. I sat with one team for a year and barely spoke to anyone; they wanted to communicate digitally even if I was sitting right beside them. Very low morale. Was outsourced twice: once by jobs going to another country, and then by student interns who were working for free.

Advice to Management

Value your employees' experience over the person who can do it the cheapest.
