Pros

Pay is great. Vacation depends on your manager, since it's not guaranteed, but unlimited if you have a good boss that favors you.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent, so pay doesn't really scale, and vacation is a dream. Burnout is a definite promise. The culture is unprofessional. Managers are not managers; they lack professional training and, with that, are non-ethical. The work environment is hostile, with bias against ethicality.

Advice to Management

You lost your one benefit: your winning culture. It will take decades to win it back. It's sad to see all the company's revenues leaving the US and going to other economies.
