Do your job, get paid.  The glory days have past.
Pros: Work at home, competitive pay and benefits if you are a decent performer.
Cons: Job security not dependent on performance.
Critical loss and degradation in skills and experience of technical staff due to offshoring, resulting in impacts to the business.
Too many layers of managers and project managers; majority are non-technical paper pushers and bean counters who do not understand the technical aspects of areas they manage.  This lack of understanding impacts their ability to manage effectively and make sound decisions for long-term success of the business.
