Pros

You may be lucky to work on real products and real customers, with occasional interesting challenges to solve.

Nothing is left. We used to have great technologies, but the marketing is bad. The company is too big and not flexible.

Cons

Too much politics and policies, less actual work. Everything is getting off-shored. No young talents working in the company. Professionals are leaving. Lack of motivation. Management is seeking every possibility to cut costs and transfer all jobs to India or China.

Advice to Management

Stop off-shoring and raise your own talents. Motivate people and let them grow. Respect their interests and work-life balance. Market and populate your products. Make them simpler and cheaper to start using, and understand real benefits.
