Pros

Job flexibility - that's it.

Cons

Anonymous cog in the big corporate machine, perpetually being downsized and nickel-and-dimed on pay while execs award themselves big raises.

Squeezed out by offshoring for the same reason: if you ain't Indian and prepared to work for peanuts, then you're not going anywhere.

Where the hell do they think the next generation of senior technical direction is going to come from?

Advice to Management

Respect and value your employees, or we just switch off.
