Pros

Flexibility, diverse opportunities, great people, variety in assignments, global presence, and the opportunity to travel to different places.

Cons

Recent focus on earnings per share over people.

Lots of processes and occasional bureaucracy.

Recent shift to offshore jobs.

Advice to Management

Focus more on long-term stability and growth for the future, not quarterly earnings per share at the expense of employees. Kill the 2015 roadmap and certainly don't create another projection. There are too many factors out of your control.
