Pros

N/A -- many transformational processes may have better long term effect on the growth of the company and profit maxima ion for shareholders.

Cons

N/A - Job stability not guaranteed due to massive 3rd party sell-out especially for IT. Causing employees transfers to these 3rd party companies while other employees are being let go. Many transformational processes which are not good for smooth operations.

Pros

Great employees work here. Products are good.

Cons

Short sighted decisions that are all about l about the end of the quarter, or getting out a particular release. Some of the most talented employees will get laid off in a whim. Management will just cancel a project and lay everyone off who worked on that project no matter how good of an engineer they are. Whatever it takes to look good to a shareholder and get their bonus at the end of a quarter. More managers than any company i have ever seen. Healthcare benefits are not good.

Team leaders aloof, overbearing, and not too smart. They also liked to yell at and belittle their team members.
