Pros
- Competitive total compensation for Executive Directors - Benefits are pretty good with multiple options, but deductibles are high for standard plans
Cons
- Declining revenues and CEO commitment to cut $1B in costs by 2017, has basically shut down all hires in metro (NY/LDN) areas despite talent pool - Legacy management culture to build and customize all software themselves is deep, despite cost targets and availability of commercial solutions which meet most requirements (perhaps due to job protection) - Little to no attention is put on process. Everything is customized including ITIL processes. - A lot of smart people, but there are also others who fake it pretty well and can't deliver anything but theory. - Beware behind your back, management is typically out for themselves -- there is a trust issue
