Pros

The IT department is adequately staffed, does not skimp on IT infrastructure, and has mature processes for change, incident, problem, and release management. Managers, Directors, and VPs work on the floor in cubicles with their teams! Pay/benefits are adequate and they do not lowball on compensation. The workplace is modern and well-maintained. Office politics are minimal, and everyone gets along very well!

Cons

Financially, the company is in bad shape. They declared bankruptcy in 2020 due to COVID business downturn and laid off a huge chunk of their IT department (myself included). If that hadn't happened, I would still be there.
