Pros

Good benefits, convenient location, decent offices, overall friendly atmosphere. There are opportunities to travel if you are in the right department.

Cons

Lack of business and project management knowledge in upper management. They use the right buzz words but they don't have experience as project managers themselves so they don't really understand their customers. The business and marketing practices are out of date or not there. Customers say that company is hard to do business with. The website is bad.

Pros

-Great People -Fun environment - excellent opportunity to learn

Cons

Poor management decisions are never subject to any level of accountability. New executive leadership is very arrogant and seems uninterested and distrustful of the department as a whole. Architecture design is poor and leads to constant "emergencies." There is no thought given to how development and operations work together. priority is always given to new features, which results in mountains of technical debt. The company is constantly reminding employees that they Have a few hundred million in liquid assets, but they never seem to spend it on improving what they actually deliver, or in IT's case, how they deliver it.
