Pros

- Middle Management that cares. - Good salary / Benefits.

Cons

- Tech stack is more than 12+ years behind industry standards. Poorly implemented solutions abound. - Poor quality software and implementations. Not uncommon to see an outages daily or hourly from multiple teams. Zero ownership for leadership to resolve these issues. Kills most teams productivity, not uncommon to see tech folks quit over work-life balance. - Lack of work-life balance if you are on the wrong team. - Old school top-down management that things throwing unqualified folks on a technical problems or projects will produce better results. - Bloated. Too many folks performing tasks that could easily be automated. Too many processes that are in place that create red tape. - Bloated. Consultants are killing the organization. No one is watching the hen house. Most technical staff don't have the proper skills to do their jobs, yet they are hired. - Bloated. An irrational, unexplainable level of duplication of services Too many teams performing the same functions.
