Pros: Very little to be proud of.  The offshore experiment seems to be failing miserably.  Communication has gotten worse over the years.  There are no tasks being performed by offshore that can't be done as well or  better by US  college level students.
Cons: Management  unable to implement large projects.  Huge wastes of dollars on  'vision' that never goes anywhere.  Have seen tens of millions up in smoke.  Approach seems to be shake the box so people won't notice how little the managers actually accomplish.   every time you think things have to be settling down something new comes along to blow that out of the water.  Tactic is to get rid of or alienate all the people that truly know the business then start critical projects  doomed to be late or buggy.
