Pros

They once had the biggest and best pool of talented, dedicated IT professionals who went to limits to support the infrastructure and applications. People worked here for decades and knew how to keep things running smoothly.

Cons

They continued to cut and cut and cut right into the bone until there was nobody left and the ones left standing got the worst of it. Way too much work, always putting out fires and not addressing the real issues

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
