Pros

The people in the trenches are great to work with. Although not formalized, their development process is solid when doing on shore.

Off shore work is just a slave grind. Work them until they have a mental breakdown or quit. Then hire some more people and put them to the grind.

Cons

You'll always be outsourced regardless of how good you are or what type of work you do. It's all about the company's bottom line.

The fear to lose your job on a daily basis is greater than the advantage of working there. Only take the job as a temporary thing.
