Pros

Company subsidized cafe. Depending on the team, friendly co-workers

Cons

IT is considered as a cost center and there is no a center for innovation. When you point this out to the management , they just keep procrastinating for updating technologies. The goals are always cutting cost. Every 6 months there is a re-org and email sent out to employees to quit at will with a 1 month salary as bonus. There are no long term goals or strategy for the dept. The Director of Enterprise Architecture interviews new employees and then never has time to meet/greet/and discuss what the new hires goals and objectives are for the company. He will meet you again on your last day. There is no work life balance AT ALL for new hires. If you object, raise a question you will be gone soon. They keep saying we are in a technical debt but they have 50+ applications which even the IT dept doesn't support and know off. Whoever has the money gets what they want without consulting anyone.
