Pros

Promotes healthy work/life balance Salary is fair Most tools needed to do the job are available People are very helpful in general.

Cons

IT in particular is very immature compared to other industries. Politics rule. If you don't know the right people, you can't get things done. All work is project based. There is no methodology for implementing and maintaining infrastructure basics such as security. Management is top down only. No contributions requested or allowed by employees. Management does not share information with employees.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
