IT Candidates consider seriously the risk of leaving a place you like even a little to make the jump!
Pros
Clean office space, level blinds, industry in-line benefits, decent co-workers if they have not left yet, Supposed to be 37.5 hour days
Cons
Brain drain in full swing as of 4/2014. 60 of ~100 departed IT staff since 2012. 3 10 year+ IT veterans left since 3/2014. Many many more 5+ year vets are among the 60 above. People are leaving because the expectations are not reasonable. One development group was told to expect to be on call 24 x 7 x 365. Many if not most are over 65 hours already. Consider that offer and divide it by about 2 to get an accurate hourly salary. Have you ever seen such an unprecidented IT recruitment effort? Better ask yourself why that might be before you accept folks! The IT management and Senior Management treats IT horribly in that company and those that leave report that it is nothing short of a relief. Buffalo is a pretty small IT world, ask around...
