Pros

High quality, competent, and compassionate IT work force (those that remain). Fair pay and benefits.

Cons

Too many bureaucracies and chiefs. CIO is lost and out of touch with how to run and execute global IT strategy. Cutting employees to save a $$ but no concern over plummeting support and aging infrastructure. Director and senior leadership only there to make a name for themselves. No cohesion between BUs. You can only have a happy productive career if you are Minnesota.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
