Pros

My teammates were an Extra Ordinary group of people.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations. They have outsourced to a provider that is not capable of doing the job. Upper Management is not making informed decisions. The worker bees that have survived the numerous layoff are not appreciated. They are pushed to make an outsource model work with ineffective support systems.

Offshoring, offshoring, offshoring, lots of layoffs in US over past 5 years, outdated enterprise resource management systems, product group in-fighting, technicians and below hired/let go at the bat of an eye.
