Outsourcing fears grow

Senior analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits and flexible work hours even though they’re well above 45 per week

Cons

Too many reorganizations. Outsourcing multiple IT teams to India has most fearing for their job. There’s no loyalty given back to a loyal and high performing employees, it seems everyone is disposable for the cheaper foreign work. Current employees would be fools to not look outside of this organization due to leadership failures like this. It does not ‘live their mission’, and is not the same company I was once proud to be a part of. If you’re looking for 6 months of experience to put on a resume before being eliminated, this is the place for you.
