Pros

Lots of free time for the resources who want to work.

  • Community services keep you engaged in social work.
  • In a span of 3-4 years, you won't be getting enough exposure to various technical challenges, as there are in-house projects and a "do-it-later" attitude.
  • So, lastly, you have a lot of time for family and no work.
Cons
  • Very limited room for career growth.
  • Many unnecessary layers of management.
  • Work/life balance is questionable.
  • Many unnecessary layers of management.
  • No promotions from within (at least in the department I'm in).
  • Insufficient training.
  • Listen to your employees and give them the pay they deserve, or else you will be losing all the talent to this rebounding market.
  • More transparent & fair review process.
  • Limited mentoring opportunities.
Advice to Management

Recognize and reward talent before it leaves to create value for other companies.

Don't get caught up in the management of the business at the expense of the management of the people. We are not just "resources."

Hire from within should be stopped, especially this goes to managers who create positions for their referrals.
