Pros

Pay, bonuses and benefits are excellent. Work environment is upscale. There are some great people in the trenches!

Cons

Executive leadership changes in technology a few years ago completely ruined what was great culture. The environment is toxic, problems are swept under cover for the illusion of everything being great. Politics are running through everything and the focus on what is supposed to be “inclusion” is just a facade for inequity and discrimination, Some people are demanded to work around the clock while others skate through and do nothing - no leadership accountability. The IT department leadership is inept at doing the right thing for the business and is neither truthful nor transparent to their colleagues. The saddest part is that good people are exploited till the are forced out, which the incompetent get promoted and stay. The story to shareholders does not reflect what really goes on in the IT areas.
