Pros
Thankfully I have very good management but some areas aren't so lucky. Training is encouraged and so is keeping a good work/life balance. You get exposed to many areas of the business and the work never gets stale. Security is supported by the C-Suite.
Cons
Heavy turnover in other areas of IT makes getting things done challenging. Outsourcing has gone very poorly. The dev teams get all the attention and Security can sometimes be an afterthought when it comes to budgeting. Salaries don't keep up with other large companies who are allowing permanent remote work. Benefits are pretty weak. Health insurance is affordable but coverage is below average and deductibles are high. 401k match is 2.5%. No bonuses based on company performance even though revenues are up through covid. Ownership happiness clearly trumps employee happiness. The company seems to push "wokeness" over common sense.
