Pros

The campus was close to me.

Cons

1970s work environment, very low pay, no raises, deferred 401k contributions, too many outsourced jobs to India and China. The majority of the workforce resides overseas. They only hire recent graduates in order to get the cheapest labor. There is no employee retention because once employees gain a little experience, they leave for better opportunities.

Advice to Management

You are a dinosaur that has abandoned the US worker in favor of cheap, foreign labor. You should be banned from doing business in the US.

Look up the term "sellout" in the dictionary and you'll find IBM as the example.
