Business Outlook

Pros

Good clientele and potential to gain some experience from, fastly disappearing, grey hairs

Cons

Management detached from ground reality when it comes to GTS ! The unit is in a self created mess made by selling data centers without any planning for the move and the people responsible for this mess are being promoted to C-suite ! Brutal re-org in play and some really valuable employees on the receiving end. Laptops and VDI/MVW are terribly slow and kill productivity.
