Business Outlook
Pros
Feels like working for yourself. Some minimal healthcare benefits, getting worse each year. Slashing costs to pretend profits are growing in the short term in preparation for a sale (again). If it works this time, perhaps the execs will get their buy-outs and finally leave.
Cons
Anti-poaching agreement with client Has none of the benefits of actually working for yourself Asked to give up vacation w/o comp No technical training in 10 years Difficult to impossible to get software Hardware updates at ~8 year interval No opportunity as 90% positions offshore, or H1-Visa rotation
