Pros

Good benefits. Four weeks vacation to start. Some really great people who put in a lot more effort than, strictly speaking, is required.

Cons

Executive leadership that doesn't seem to have any idea how to run a technology organization. Overly complex, convoluted policies and procedures that ensure nobody can get anything done, ever. Insane separation of duties that fragments responsibilities and makes accountability impossible. Management has no trust in the technologists as a group. In general, while they like to talk about how important colleagues are to the organization, the reality is that people here are treated as widgets to be used and disposed of or swapped out for any reason. No fit for purpose work areas anywhere in the organization. No proper investment in maintaining or improving technology infrastructure in years. No budget for new technology investigation and adoption.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
