Pros

Flexible schedules, great development opportunities

Cons

Internal candidates seeking promotions will be offered a salary significantly lower than ones made to external candidates. It is more profitable to leave the company and post externally.

Pros

great benefits, employees are nice to work with and care about their clients.

Cons

I feel micromanaged with constant evaluations of job from outside source. It almost makes you feel paranoid about doing something wrong. Pay is on the lower scale for the work done.

AXP outsources a ton of work to Indians via IBM which then hires out to TaTa, etc. Indians have taken over middle mgmt.
