Not what the hype says

Pros

Good employee benefits. Medical, dental and other benefits are very good.

Cons

Managers are very political and many are very weak. They will throw people under the bus to cover for their mistakes and bad decisions. Managers making the bad decisions, get promoted since they were able cover up their bad decisions. HR department is weak in identifying the real issues or problems. Too many managers are drinking the kool aide.

Pros

The breadth of opportunity to work with new technologies was fantastic. Very relationship based.

Cons

IT leadership is looking at outsourcing as a cost savings. Making similar mistakes as other companies I've been at as they pursue this.
