Pros

The individual resources are very close and work together very well. It is a close nit community but it's getting tougher to keep it that way as management is doing their best to discontinue that type of environment.

Cons

Williams management is open about discussing "age" of their employees and discriminating on age for internal transfers between IT departments. I hear, "We are looking for younger." quite often from managers. There is poor leadership right now from the CIO down through the directors to managers. They are too far down in the weeds and do not see the bigger picture. Work/Life balance is preached, but not practiced, especially in IT. Management leads by intimidation and fear. The leadership is very IBM like with dress code, removal of work/life balance perks like work from home and management style.
