Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

Old technology used. Old methods of doing business. CEO has major impact on all areas and fires high value, high paid staff to reduce costs and increase that all important margin. Upper Management have no clue on the business area I worked under.

Pros

Local team was great to work with.

Cons

Management is more concerned with reactionary cost cutting and saving their own jobs than they are with the effect it will create down the road. There are a lot of faceless names calling the shots with out even stepping foot in the door to find out what the issue are and how to fix them.
