Pros

You are employed until your job is offshored

Cons

The executives view life 3 months at a time and are rushing to bleed the company dry before they hop to the next race to the bottom

Pros

Competitive Salary and Competitive Benefits.

Cons

Non-stop shift of resources to lower cost countries despite the loss in skills and knowledge. Thinks employees are stupid in how they are working things to make employees want to leave just so they don't have to declare it as a layoff. CIO has become a cost cutting machine by closing up different teams and applications without regard for what it is losing. Management no longer cares for its people. TOXIC environment.

Pros

- Ok salary - Looks good on a CV - Good work-life balance (I was never asked to stay overtime) - Free credit for equipment when you start and renewed every year

Cons

- No bonuses of any kind - DEI hell - Bad tech: many of the key websites I use every day are painfully slow - Management wants you in office even when you're working with teams overseas - Pay for everything in office: drinks, snacks, lunch - Office is far from everything and no compensation for transport
