Pros

the trend is going to hosted email good software engineers

Cons

middle management is not good. they constantly change and in the end, they don't know what their subordinates are doing, it appears that they don't care either. new projects constantly are started and cancelled, wasting the team's effort and demoralize the team spirit. there is huge turnover of engineers, I have never seen that in my whole professional life.
