Pros
- Paycheck doesn't bounce (yet) - Better than working at Starbucks (maybe tied now) - Some fun technology - Talking with the few senior engineers who are still around about the good ol' days - Free boxes to pack your stuff in when you get fired. - You get lots of business cards, because your group gets re-org'd and re-titled every six months.
Cons
- Open racism applied in politics of management - If you're white, you will be retiring at 45... sorry, it's management policy - Technical merit means nothing anymore - Constant threat from management about being laid off.... TWICE A YEAR - Having to deal with sub-sub-sub contractors in Bangalore who call you at home when it's convenient for them. - Diversity means when you're organization is 65% Indian and you're not... you need to focus on your resume. If you are Indian, come in at 11, go home at 2, job well done.. enjoy your bonus. - Your manager cares only about themselves and the person above them they are trying to kiss.. nothing else, don't be fooled.
