Pros

Decent pay. Stock options. Good co-workers. Diverse workforce.

Cons

Constant layoffs. They will lay off thousands of employees then make huge billion dollar+ accusations. IT department is a toxic cesspool. CIO manages based on "Vibes" perception, and impressions. He does not provide clear direction but then gets upset if you do not read his mind. A total rule by fear environment. They constantly are threatening to let you go if you don't fall in line. They fire anyone who disagrees with them or shows any backbone or stands up for themselves. So Senior IT management is full of "Yes men" afraid to stick their necks out. Most regular employees just keep their heads down. AVOID THE IT DEPARTMENT AT ALL COSTS.

Pros

Coworkers, if any are left. Benefits are standard. Good place to start, get a few years experience and then run,

Cons

management by spreadsheet. You are a cog in the wheel, and only that. The new plant manager is a carpet bagger who won't stay long term and has no desire to do so, Plays whack a mole with employees, so all the senior staff is gone. I worked here a long time for different masters, this is as bad as it can get. There is no career path here. The company doesn't expect you to want one.
