Pros

Good people in the ranks. Very dedicated workforce. Their contributions go above and beyond.

Cons

Management's sight on lowering cost footprint at all levels leads to exodus (willing and unwilling) of people with decades of subject matter expertise. Jobs moving to lower cost areas within country and outside of the country. No long term future for anyone in the new york area, where company is based.
