Pros

Really good company full of people who care. This is a place where people celebrate decades of work -- largely, I suspect, because of how kind and helpful everyone is. Honestly, there are more than a handful of people who I know have been here for over 30 years. There's a reason people stay and it's obvious.

Cons

Antiquated decision making, slow to change, and not always very considerate of new ideas. Leaders can sometimes take awhile to come around, and the technology here is so bad. Our hybrid meetings are a joke - the helpdesk team doesn't care about their work and our work computers are absolutely terrible.

Pros

Fulfilling work for a mission-driven company that prioritizes the right things. Kind colleagues and respectful work environment. Best managers ever! Market competitive salary for IT, and great benefits.

Cons

some areas of the company are slow to adapt to change, patience is required.
