Struggling to identify the pros

All work is done overseas mostly by incompetent novices Bosses are obsequious toward offshore staff Turnover in offshore staff is high Little effort to hire locally and new hires are awful Constantly feel something fishy going on because everybody is trying to cover their derrière Managers willing to throw underlings under the bus

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
