Pros: Interesting projects, if you can stay employed and avoid offshoring.
Cons: It's a completely different company than it was 2 years ago. The entire executive team is now Indian and they are offshoring everything to India. The new CEO is doing an RTO mandate. There's an extreme lack of opportunity for advancement and it's likely that everyone's pay will be cut.
