Pros

*Steady work environment. *Great job for someone fresh out of school.

Cons

*You are part of a team, but team members all reside in other offices. *Coming from other IT roles you don't learn any new technologies. *No new technologies can be a huge drawback for future employment opportunities. *Procedures change frequently...then they change again. Procedure process can be too involved to get something done for the people you are providing support for and often times find yourself waiting...which in turn makes you focus on getting other things done but your productivity really declines when you find yourself going back and forth.

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.
