Pros

Can’t think of Anything for now.

Cons

Work Life Balance is screwed up!Management knows this and all they do is add more work with some or the other project. Compared to the work that is squeezed out of employees, they pay us pennies. Management is denial about attrition which adds more pressure on to experienced employees. In the name of the VISIBILITY people who work are denied of what they deserve! You cannot have a open conversation with management as it will be used against.
