Pros
Some good career challenges within a basic cloud technology road-map, courtesy of smart people who have left the organization.
Cons
Some serious unhealthy applied conditions primarily stemming from upper leadership operating under a guise that is actually in contrast to some very good values the rest of the organization seems to value: Poor communication by key upper management, with after the fact communication of asks and a "do as I say, not as I do mentality". Unfortunately CYA emails are a must Closed-group governance made by some rather oxymoronic roles & credentials that don’t value providing helpful feedback and seldom take input or enable teams to work with relevant aspects of the business; the business of IT with the internal customer suffers for ingenuity and is in decline, despite a pivoting to a cloud-first model that ultimately requires properly educated and knowledgeable staff. Stifled career path options due to upper management pecking order mentality & a well solidified culture of siloed organization structure and also due to a lack of recognition that real industry training need be planned with & provided to, other than corporate 'training'. Primarily a Microsoft shop due to closed-group governance. Bias work life balance expectations as practiced by upper management, with 'no overtime allowed', just expected free. Work from home not allowed, except for instances made with managerial permission, yet managers can work from home as they see fit. Performance rating system minced with Harvard smart goals, ultimately graded on 'relationship' performance with the manager. Attrition with a significant turnover of both mid-tier management and subordinate staff. A senior IT leadership that knows or should know this, and yet continues to entitle and enable some problematic upper management and does not care or wish to resolve despite said face.
