Gridlocked IT department that gets little support from business but all the blame
Pros
Positive overall work environment, stable industry, good overall company ethics. Co-workers are friendly and everyone gets along well in corporate office and internationally.
Cons
Business leadership is severely outdated and does not really understand how to run an international company. This results in huge under-investment in support functions and associated problems for company operations. There are few career opportunities in IT, they hire/fire IT staff regularly and expect positive changes. Unfortunately, the business thinks regularly firing IT leadership is the way to go when business projects fail. The real cause is an underpaid, understaffed, and underfunded IT department that will not improve until the company invest in it properly.
