Pros

Give a sense of campus at HQ. Good benefits like health care, gym.

Cons

It all depends upon your immediate manager and his whims. There is no uniform culture or evaluation, etc.

If you get a crappy manager, your life will suck. Also, with IDC, CDC, etc., one is expected to work in the morning, during work hours, and then again late at night. This is by default expected.

Advice to Management

There is too much middle management whose only job seems to be saying, "Yes sir," to anything the top management says. You can be a good manager only when you understand what you are committing to, how much resource you have, and what can be done.

Everybody is afraid to bring any bad news to top management.
