Bullies everywhere

Pros

if the environment wasn’t so toxic, the work is interesting

Cons

The problem with working in IT are the sheer volume of bullies. I’ve been sexually harassed, called names by men who were incapable of taking any direction from a female, told there are rumors about me and people don’t like me in the LT but never given specifics. It’s standard practice that others take credit for your work. Every year I kill myself for this company and every year my manager finds a way to put me down. “Reality is perception” so you can’t even stick up for yourself. I try so hard and get good reviews but they make sure you are constantly put down so you keep kissing up and can never feel good about your accomplishments.

Leadership is a joke

Pros

Decent pay for work life balance

Cons

Work life balance getting worse after each reorg and other competitors have exceeded our pay rates. Incompetent leadership that doesn’t understand how our business is delivered. Too many idea people and not enough people focused on problem solving. Were great at finding problems that don’t exist, and then solving them ourselves.

Pros

Great money, smart people, interesting work

Cons

Constant reorganization. Bias against US employees as they are seen as too expensive, unclear link to strategy, Sr leadership is out of touch. You are just a cost and always subject to being terminated.
