      Pros

      Decent benefits package. Can work remote whenever I want.

      Cons

      No real advancement opportunities past T3 engineering level. These opportunities are reserved for the people who do their managers jobs for them or are members of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE.)

      Was a great company - not any more

      Senior it manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wonderful opportunities to develop and change role to pretty much anything you want (used to be) Great people and culture - though see cons too Pretty good benefits and flexible working Mostly good and supportive managers - many others just follow the corporate line.

      Cons

      Culture and people focus is dying - being killed off by market performance focused externally hired execs. Apathy from constant change and restructuring and unclear direction External issues (litigation) are a huge risk to stability and future Complex, difficult to navigate matrix structure - takes an age to get anything decided and then done. Board now totally focused on short term market targets - everything else - people, projects, technical debt - all expendable.
