Pros

At least within my team, there was no expectation of overtime, and I was allowed to pursue projects that would bring up the efficiency of our team.

Cons

Regular risk of layoff despite performance, constant micromanagement, and four different time tracking tools used simultaneously when I left.

Advice to Management

Lay off the micromanagement.

Make an effort to keep the talent you have, even at a higher cost.

The cost of losing business by lowering service levels has been a huge problem for years.
