Pros

great company with decent benefits, you get your birthday off, after 3 years you get 3 weeks of vacation, 3 floater days per year, 10 days sick time. people not in I.T. are generally very friendly.

Cons

there is absolutely no work life balance, if you are in I.T., DO NOT WORK HERE!! Too stressful, executives doesn't pay attention to details, would you like a boss who doesn't read your emails or lacks communication to ensure your stability in the workplace? not to mention the pay scale is lower then market conditions, they bring in contractors and promise that they will get hired and after years of waiting they are not hired. good luck getting a promotion because they do not promote from within unless you are in development areas that benefit the higher powers.

Pros

The mission is real and the work matters. There are strong, capable people who keep the business running even when the system makes it harder than it needs to be. You’ll learn fast in a complex, high-pressure environment.

Cons

> There’s a leadership talent drain. Some of the best leaders either left or were pushed out, and the difference is obvious in how decisions get made and how work gets executed. >Ownership and credit can be political. Execution teams build the capability, but recognition often flows elsewhere. >Recognition is upside down: business teams get celebrated for planning and announcements, while IT needs an act of God to get noticed — even when it’s doing heroics to keep the business alive. When things work, IT is invisible; when things break, IT is expected to perform miracles. > Priorities shift late and often, with weak decision trails. Work gets restarted, redirected, or rebranded after months of progress because the narrative changes or the “right” stakeholders weren’t in the room at the right time. >The finish line moves constantly. Teams get close to delivery, then scope expands and timelines reset. It’s churn disguised as alignment. >Concerns raised early get brushed off; later, the same leaders demand emergency heroics when the risk becomes visible.
