Pros

Summer Fridays - close at 3pm

Cons

After numerous months of surviving under the WORST IT managers in history, there was a glimmer of hope that the new IT C-leader would make some positive changes. He did take away some misplaced power from one, which was good. But, its obvious that the C doesn't believe in diversity on his leadership team. There is a lot of knowledge and skills right at his fingertips. It also appears that he doesnt care about the people, but more about the almighty dollar by off shoring the work.

Pros

Good work/life balance, generous PTO

Cons

• Excessive management layers: There are too many layers of management, many of which seem focused on self-preservation rather than supporting the team. This creates unnecessary bureaucracy, leaving employees bogged down with low-value tasks and corporate checkboxes instead of meaningful work. • Outdated technology and resistance to innovation: The tech stack is significantly outdated, and there is a clear resistance to adopting modern solutions. For example, I was penalized for incorporating AI into development work, despite other teams being encouraged to use tools like ChatGPT for less impactful tasks. Opportunities to implement cost-saving, AI-driven solutions were dismissed without proper consideration. • Unsustainable expectations for advancement: Promotions appear to be reserved only for top performers who are willing to prioritize work above all else. The expectation to “eat, sleep, and breathe” the job creates an unhealthy work-life balance and limits growth opportunities for otherwise strong contributors.
