Pros

Work from home and goo IT budgets.

Cons

IT is full of politics. Every thing is getting outsourced to India ( actually this company is 10 years behind, in terms of outsourcing. The other companies are coming back to USA, we just have began outsourcing) People from US are asked to report to a manager from India. Manager in India has 50 plus direct reports and several indirect reports.There are no standard rules, each VP has his own policies based on his/her own convenience. Too much money is wasted on custom development. We do the same stuff several times but still does not work.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
