Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits, compensation, and job stability are outstanding. most of the projects you work on are interesting.

Cons

The execs want the company to do everything all the time and want it done in a timeframe that isn't possible with how poorly resourced most of the teams are. Mediocre performers are often given chance after chance to continue their mediocrity because having a butt in a seat is more valuable than not having them.
