Pros

Significant and challenging work on large systems supporting multiple business units requiring negotiation and compromise of requirements and schedule. Mostly hard-working knowledgeable staff. Good leadership team. Reasonable processes.

Cons

Difficulty in integrating with or transitioning off of legacy systems due to budget and schedule limitations. Working level of business sometimes not aligned with leadership goals. Historically, too many repeated changes of process.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
