Pros

The benefits, pay, 401K match, and PTO were generous. The opportunity to travel and meet your colleagues around the globe was a real bonus.

Cons

The decision to outsource IT to a 3rd party offshore was a horrible decision. It did not reduce costs. Instead it severely reduced the level of customer service and system reliability provided to internal and external users. It was chaos, and probably still is.
