Good place for an IT professional to coast for awhile...just don't get too comfortable.
Pros
Adequate if you need to duck out of a higher stress position to focus more on family than career. Have not experienced any overt sexism. Low stress with very elastic project timelines. IT consultants are used liberally to do the heavy lifting for the most challenging IT tasks, so you are off the hook for a good deal of the stress and overtime, if needed. Good DBA's and infrastructure support. Good yearly cash bonuses awarded during a year when an executive leaves or retires. On-call is very limited. Some flexibility on work hours... some "working from home" tolerated and not monitored. Woman CEO.
Cons
Your technical skills will atrophy if you stay very long (see consultant note in "Pros" above). Not a very dynamic work environment, teams don't have a strong bond and are isolated from each other. CIO position was eliminated, so IT doesn't have much of a voice with the corporate decision makers, IT very much viewed as a roadblock and expense rather than a strategic asset. IT layoffs are now an accepted and not uncommon management tool to produce cost savings. Severely limited IT training budget. Not many opportunities to develop software, more of a vendor software package maintenance role. The IT strategy is very opaque. IT "Architects" just go through the motions using checklists and are allied with the managers rather than the IT tech staff. IT Team leads are used for HR tasks and don't contribute greatly to technology solutions. You need to negotiate well for compensation when you start since raises are very low and are more across the board rather than merit based. Very Madison-centric vs Cedar Rapids and the power plants.
