Business administration is a soul stealer

Pros

The pay is alright and the work hours haven't exceeded the 9 to 5... yet

Cons

Ever since Aneel stepped down as CEO, the company has lost its identity as a company that cares about its employees. Carl and the current executives are typical MBAs that only cut costs, regardless of the long term impact. After the recent round of layoffs, I expect a large portion of the roles will be offshored, with diminished quality of work
