Pros
Good line employees and decent direct managers. Christmas holidays are great.
Cons
In my opinion the IT dept is not a good place to work. CIO is awful, treats group terribly. The CIO that was replaced engaged employees, took them to lunch, made them feel important, but this new one, which the CEO called 'adored' by the group, does not instill motivation or good faith in the group. Too many stories about poor behavior and instances of favoritism to those of similar religion to make you wonder what you got yourself into here. Never knew anyone that liked the CIO here, which speaks volumes. Direct managers are good but do not stand up to the CIO. The CEO is out of touch with what line employees think or chooses to ignore how things are. In either case the IT group is one of the worst departments in the company. You should not feel like you're being punished for doing a good job. Culture should come from within, not from forced daily standup meetings. Professionals should know how to conduct themselves already and should be trusted to do their jobs.
