Overpaid & Mediocre. How long can you milk a cash cow?

Computer scientist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Do nothing, blame others, rise upwards! Really, just "make it all look good" and you will be successful! Especially: be extra nice, overtly (okay to stab backs behind doors: everyone does that).

Cons

Can't sleep at night. Any ideas you have -- ESPECIALLY innovation (threatening!) -- will come to nothing. Management will see to that -- as they are measured on keeping the milk flowing from the cash cow.

Pros

Work life balance is good if not great, The work environment is good. The stock benifits are great.

Cons

No longer almost flat hierarchy as advertised years ago. The India center has become top heavy. Lots of new managers, so the team environment now a days depends on which team one is working in.
