Busy but great learning environment

Enterprise communications

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing learning environment. Alot of moving parts in cutting edge as well as legacy tech, so there are many chances to grow and learn. Knowlege sharing and collaboration cross teams was overall good. Generous time off allowances, good benefits, good teams to work with and cross collaborate with, room to grow past beyond your role

Cons

Hours and days can get very long in the the enterprise tech side. workload fluctuates but can get very heavy as to be expected in supporting/ managing a 24/7 large medical system. Levels of burn out can happen every so often after periods of long shifts. From personal experience, some leadership was very good at allowing comp time/ a moment to breath when needed.
