Pros

Great benefits, compensation, training, and potential to move up. IT has extremely low turn over. Very common to have over 15 and 20 years with the company. Great work/life balance. Couldn't ask for a better job. Products and service are top notch. External customers are the priority and keeping customers is number one.

Cons

Management's idea of "agile" is skewed and needs to be revamped. New hires are bobble heads who say yes to everything. Not a lot of people left who will say no and not enough constructive dissent.

Pros

Flexible working, good pay. Not a great deal of pros to say about the company.

Cons

Arrogant and idiotic management. Too American centric which does not fit every culture in the world. Lack of customer care or service delivery. Not suitable for professionals who have opinions.
