Pros

Compensation and what was once the best technology group on the street.

Cons

Lack of vision and strategy, especially for the IT department. Layoff of many, many good people and reduction of expenses has created a difficult environment and morale is suffering. Many good people have left due to the recent and current situation.

Pros

Excellent salaries and great people to work with. Good opportunities for employee's just starting out in a career with excellent graduate programs

Cons

Inability to deliver projects in an appropriate timescale. Projects often have longer timescales as a result of poor communication and lack of ownership. The business is trying to run a centralised IT management structure in a global environment causing delays as a result of time differences. Often I had to attend conference calls late into the evening because of the time difference with New York. Meetings often talk a lot about the solution and actions taken but at subsequent meetings nothing had been accomplished.
