Short term view by management, no future
Pros: The really good people you get to work with great, true leaders within the industry and really know how to run a good shop or project.  Natural leaders are given a long rope, even when they are front line non-managers.  There are some good and fun projects to work on if you can get attached to them but there are fewer and fewer of them in the US.
Cons: There is a significant population of people not pulling their weight, often hiding behind the work at home smokescreen.  There is no such thing as life balance if you have any pride in your work with 60 hour work weeks the norm.  Cost cutting has gotten to the point of foolishness.  Company has no long term goals.
