Pros

Large IT group with lots of different roles, global organization, flexible work schedules, good salaries, solid 401K.

Cons

The CIO and her inner circle have completely lost their way. It is all about favoritism and exclusion over the best practices and procedures that will benefit the organization. IT used to be full of long tenured professionals that were truly engaged in their work, but that has eroded with the endless re-orgs and questionable promotions. Overall Company: Expensive benefits, layoffs (employment based on winning contacts), hesitant to promote from within.
