Pros

Pay, bonuses and benefits are excellent. Work environment is upscale. There are some great people in the trenches!

Cons

Executive leadership changes in technology a few years ago completely ruined what was great culture. The environment is toxic, problems are swept under cover for the illusion of everything being great. Politics are running through everything and the focus on what is supposed to be “inclusion” is just a facade for inequity and discrimination, Some people are demanded to work around the clock while others skate through and do nothing - no leadership accountability. The IT department leadership is inept at doing the right thing for the business and is neither truthful nor transparent to their colleagues. The saddest part is that good people are exploited till the are forced out, which the incompetent get promoted and stay. The story to shareholders does not reflect what really goes on in the IT areas.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
