Pros

Superb management. Good cafes. Great culture.

Cons

Rapid, awful outsourcing now to lower-skilled countries without the technical ability. I worry about future products due to the poorer software engineering quality. I am looking for work elsewhere as a result.

Advice to Management

Stop offshoring to lower quality engineering centers. Invest in Team USA, where the best universities and educational institutions in the world train good workers.
