Fired locals for cheap offshore workers

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are genuinely good, and smart. As you go higher up the org chart, that starts to change.

Cons

It's a very vertical company, many, many layers between the doers and the C-Suite. If you're managing managers of managers, what are you really contributing? They've been cutting US staff aggressively to replace them with cheap Australian workers. They asked my team if a new team could "shadow" us for a while.... then we were all cut a month later.
