Pros

Working with the latest cloud and virtualization technologies.

Cons

Executive and Senior Management clueless. Nobody leads or takes ownership of issues. President of the firm meddles in the management of the functional areas causing confusion and frustration. Lot's of backstabbing in the upper ranks.
