Pros

For income it beats no job at all. For any other reason, not so much!

Cons

No matter how many years you stay there your wages will never be better than entry level let alone keep up with inflation. The work is dull, tedious, unchallenging and thankless. Nothinng is more depressing than arriving at work before dawn.

Pros

The overall work / life balance was always fairly good. If you just want to punch a clock, this may be the place for you!

Cons

- IT and business were never properly aligned. - IT was always treated as a cost center rather than a revenue generator. - Global IT was never given any authority to push a global agenda. It was always "up to the country" to determine if they'd like to be part of a global system. Hence, all the projects to standardize "globally" were doomed from the beginning. No country or group was ever willing to cede control to a centralized IT. - Extremely siloed environment. - 3 or 4 good developers to every 10 or 20 bad ones and no help from Management to weed the bad from the good. - Reviews inconsistent and goals impossible to meet since management would change your focus 3 or 4 times a year. - 0 accountability for bad decisions year after year.
