Business Outlook
Pros
When I joined the Atlanta office, it was an autonomous division; a work-hard, play-hard kind of place with smart directors who appreciated and contributed to IT strategies; a place where one might work 60 hours per week, but since half of it was telecommuting it was palatable. Then a new CIO came in and decided that a unified IT group was the way to go, and brought in a bunch of cronies from his former employer. Things quickly became siloed; people with talent bolted for the doors. It's like an insurance company these days.
Cons
A siloed IT philosophy; minimized interaction with local management. A midwestern attitude from corporate (in Chicago) - "Don't complain, you're lucky to have a job."
