Pros

It's hard to point out

Cons

The IT org is imploding with many competant leaders leaving over the last year. The leadership is trying hard to communicate that this is not due to poor retention, one of the 3 highest priorities is talent and they're failing. The roadmap does not seem well thought out. There's a high number of middle managers and not enough ICs. No raises or bonuses for years even though you're a high performer on paper. The corporate politics culture is extremely widespread, no work gets done unless you know people. Top IT leaders fail to speak with clarity and difficult to get behind the vision.

Pros

Benefits are very good for a company this size

Cons

Team is run based on last minute requests and on a lot of meetings to join leaving little time for your usual work. Director likes to devise “innovative” ways to get sales to give more information but instead it translates to chaotic management and more stress for demand planners. There are a lot of stress placed on leads for not getting their teams to get to unrealistic goals with an unsupportive sales team. There are hardly any consistent reviews for employees but it’s not unusual for employees themselves in PIPs. Overall I would say it’s a chaotic management style in this team. Pay hits industry average but not much more. Additionally there is an overemphasis on being in the office in this company because they recently invested millions in renovations so they track your badge swipes. There are really no company wide events to get people more unified other than a quarterly CEO town hall that managers force everyone to attend.
