Pros
IT Staff is nice when they not paniced about losing their job
Cons
1. CIO is an absolute DISASTER. Way over his head. 2. Projects never complete because CIO use the budget given from the business as his personal pot of gold to reallocate to the newest IT fad instaed of what the busiess asked to be built. 3. CIO's brings a new definition to micro- managing 4. Be prepared in an open forum of your senior peers is explain to the CIO what you do for 8 hours a day. 5. Comp if are expecting a case bonus take that bonus and subtract 75% that is put into equity that has a 1/3 maturity over 3 years. 6. Expect if you are on a core project to be working weekends and getting calls form the CIO at all hours and 7 days a week. AND YOU BETTER PICK UP. 7. If you feel technology is best solutioned and developed with standards, Kiss that pipe dream away. 8. Finish a project - NEVER as priorities literally change day to day and at time hour to hour. 9. I wrote this the make sure people that want to build a technology career or value the one they already have never want to be at Newmark.
