Pros

Flexible work arrangements, training encouraged, competitive salary. Before IT was outsourced management cared about employees and culture was like a family. 20 days PTO, pension

Cons

After bringing on a consulting firm for staff augmentation they slowly sold their services until they now run IT with very few internal employees left. Morale in IT was nonexistent. Raises are sad. If you are a top performers it might be 5%. Bonus structure not clear about 5k for an employee making 100k a year. Hard to believe we were best place to work in IT just a few years ago.

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
