Pros
People tend to be younger or at least more in tune with current development trends has a vague vision of where they want to go focused on cornering the market
Cons
The company works toward money above all else. They listen more to the client than the development staff and tend to sent some unrealistic deadlines. Often times the deadlines are already set before a resource is brought in and the answer to this is "Make it work". People who are willing to put in the extra effort are not rewarded. The culture is rapidly deteriorating in favor of more profits. WTS used to pride itself on it's laid back environment and flexible schedule, now they only do token gestures like charity donations. These are more for the news letters they send out to clients and the industry and less about keeping their talent happy. They used to focus on keep talented people around but now its all about making money. Management has changed so rapidly that the core values of the original company are pushed aside for the more corporate seperation between the workers and the manangers. In years past the development staff was promoted to the manager so you knew the people making the decisions had experienced what the people they are managing have done. Now most of the management has come from outside the company. This has created a large divide between the people doing the work and those in charge.
