Pros

Competitive salary, great bonus potential

Cons

Finance organization manages IT so most IT initiatives are cost control related without thougth to best practices, innovation, or advancing the companies capabilities. Vacation policy is stingy in US. Anticipate layoffs soon since the company will split into 2 separate companies within the next year. Weak vendor management processes to handle outsourced service providers. Weak IT leadership with significant nepotism. Decentralized IT budgets that negatively impact opportunities for leveraging economies of scale, best practices, enterprise standards and creates a bloated software portfolio based upon subjective selection criteria (i.e., personal preference of sponsor).

Pros

Had a lot of flexibility with management in choosing and outlining the projects I wanted to work on

Cons

A lot of the more interesting IT work was reserved for a few set of teams, felt insular in that regard
