Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good and Bonuses are above expectations. If you are lucky to work on profitable project, you may enjoy the company.

Cons

Feeding on acquisitions rather than targeting innovations and talent growth. Politics of "profit harvesting" prioritizes in squeezing out the juices from newly acquired companies, followed by merciless layoffs and downsizing.
