Pros
I hear other divisions are not to bad to work for, kind of a hit or miss. You do not want to work for the ITS organization unless your are a workaholic and no have family.
Cons
- Lower average pay compared to other large organizations. Which is silly with the hours your working. - Ridiculous work hours with no sign of relief in the future. 60+ hours every week. - The business and developers drive the ITS organization. New deployments/projects take priority over infrastructure. - Little to none capacity planning, especially on the network and data center infrastructure. - Can't accomplish much because of IT planning mistakes made over many years - No implemented process for maintaining infrastructure, no life cycle processes. Run it till it breaks mentality. - The IT culture doesn't allow Root Cause analysis. To busy working on new projects to spend the time it takes diagnose, plan and implement fixes.
