Pros

There are no positives except meeting great people who are continuously wronged.

Cons

If you like working places where it causes you to have a mental breakdown and need to go to therapy and a psychiatrist for the way you are treated, which is like a lab rat as opposed to an actual human being, then by all means join the fun! Everything middle management does is wrong, get qualified people! A dog could do better at managing. Middle management have no clue how to do anything, upper management is great besides not looking into why things are so terrible and flushing out the bad. Upper management needs to be more present in daily life, when the “report” is good from middle management, as the actual employees living this nightmare!

IT culture is toxic

Pros

Great potential for fun, innovative work if leadership changes are made.

Cons

Toxic culture of negativity due to leadership’s resistance to change and not listening or acting to employee input. Many of the high potential newer employees are actively leaving or searching elsewhere for work due to toxic culture so team morale is often very low. Low pay and average benefits relative to modern IT industry. Leadership doesn’t enable teams to focus on any single or few projects resulting in few projects ever fully getting done well except large M&A projects.
