      Pros

      Not Pros, amateurs. I can't really think of a pro and I'm not trolling. If you like hanging around failed musicians then I guess that's a pro.

      Cons

      Terrible health benefits compared to other companies, management pushes around people and won't listen to good ideas. The pay is extremely low for the IT field. If you're serious about growing your career this place will stunt your career growth. Directors in IT related fields are more interested in their own bonuses than in developing their subordinates. Management will not promote you nor give you merit based on performance to increase their own bottom line. You will get thrown under the bus for things you never even did. Be warned. Do not work here if you're in IT!

      Pros

      - Plenty of capable individual contributors doing real work. - The brand and the business itself are legitimate — the problems are organizational.

      Cons

      - Senior leadership is politically driven rather than outcome-driven. Strategic initiatives stall out, and leaders spend more energy assigning or shifting blame than actually diagnosing and fixing problems. - Some parts of the org operate on deference to the top. Honest assessments get softened into whatever narrative leadership wants to hear, which makes real cross-functional work difficult. - Senior leaders do not consistently advocate for their own teams. When things get political, self-preservation takes precedence over backing the people underneath, and capable managers end up exposed.
