Pros

- A good place to work for - The benefits aren't too bad and the people are generally responsive and cooperative.
- Autonomy and individuality thrives in this position with this team.
- Flexibility in working schedules, especially when you have urgent issues that require you to take time off.
- An "at ease" environment - Mostly casual most of the time.
- Liked the building structure and the Cafeteria - The food was good.

Cons

- Lack of leadership, direction and honesty on behalf of Senior Management
- One day you are tasked with a role that’s supposed to be one of the highest priority and visibility, only to find out few weeks down the line that it was cancelled – and in some cases without informing you of that so you can direct you synergy to other tasks.
- Too many duplicated processes, tools, dev apps that end up thinning the companies bottom line.
- Too much off-shoring and outsourcing
- Lack of honesty on the management side - I was rated "Outstanding" in every category, were promoted - albeit without a salary increase - just few months after being hired, managed to way outperform what was required of me as per my management recommendations and requirements, were informed that I will never be laid off given my performance and the importance of the job I was doing (and indeed it was a highly crucial position focusing on cutting cost, improving quality and the company's bottom line), however, I was one of the first ones to be cut loose. My job was outsourced to a newly grad developer who was way overworked to start with and has never been exposed to a management or leadership position.

Advice to Senior Management

You really need to shake up your Senior Management Team. The competition is fierce out there and playing Loyalty Games will not get you to the Global Leadership Position that you once held. Take care of your good employees - You've got lots of intelligent and very hard working people who are the best in the industry. Don't be blinded by Corporate Greed only to find out that you brought about your own demise taking a back seat watching the competition take over your business, your clients and your Human Capital. Wish you the best of luck…
