Pros

- Stable industry - Fair salary - Some employer benefits. Examples: bonus, training, mortgage rates - Location, you may move around and try different projects

Cons

- Extremely stressful environment, zero work/life balance. I had to do tons of overtime without time off in lieu - Very low collaboration among teams and departments - Too many artificial constraints created by the IT department - Folks are decades behind the industry when it comes to software development - People blaming the "Agile Methodology" for the chaos in the software development teams while refusing to recognize the root causes.

Pros

Wish there was some to share.

Cons

Working in Talent Acquisition here was one of the most frustrating experiences of my career. The culture felt incredibly toxic, with management frequently creating an environment where employees’ concerns were dismissed or reframed in a way that made them question their own experiences. Communication lacked transparency, expectations changed constantly, and support from leadership was minimal. Hiring decisions often felt inconsistent, with factors outside of merit seemingly carrying more weight than skills and qualifications. As someone in TA, that made it difficult to feel confident in the integrity of the recruitment process. Management created a culture of fear rather than collaboration. Feedback was rarely constructive, accountability was one-sided, and employee well-being did not appear to be a priority. Morale was consistently low, turnover was high, and it was difficult to see a path for growth.
