Pros

A fairly stable company with good training and benefits opportunities here. Internal moves cover a wide array of options.

Cons

Lags behind competitors in salary and bonuses for the industry. General management attitude seems to be stating that something is world class will provide adequate energy to make it so, without investing in the staff or infrastructure to the extent that this is an accurate statement.

Lots of offshoring is going on.

One of the more politically fierce places to work on the street.

These vary by business sector, but it is an overall theme.

Advice to Management

Be prepared to pay for quality staff in the technology sector as you would in the business side. The results of offshoring are showing through in the tech space first, but pain is also apparent in the operations side. Having regional teams is fine, but having a team beholden to another organization on the other side of the planet is a drag on the efficiency and capabilities of both.
