Pros

-Good benefits compared to other companies
-Fellow employees are for the most part easy to work with and very smart

Cons

-Half of middle mgrs in IST are incompetent and function only to keep the rank and file employees in line
-Cult like corporate culture can wear on you after awhile if the kool aid is not your taste

Advice to Senior Management

Streamline IST operations by getting rid of middle mgrs who bring nothing IT wise to the table. This would save money in salaries and make things more efficient.
