Pros

A company that you can be proud to work for. Decent pay and benefits. Incredible work/life balance (depending on the organization) Pockets of excellence and some really cutting-edge architecture, technology and behaviors Some of the best people that I've ever had the pleasure of working with Lots of opportunity to contribute (depending on your manager)

Cons

Small pockets of political backstabbing and "culture of blame" groups. Pockets of outdated technology and behaviors. No accountability or 360-degree feedback for managers. Luckily, most are good, but there's no mechanism for calling out the ones destroying morale. Extremely poor oversight of the transition of IT Staff to Raleigh. Many people are being hired and given no support, direction or motivation and it's created a lot of dissent and frustration. Managers should have been moved/hired first like they did on the business side. Generous separation packages encouraged people who *could* find jobs to take the money and run rather than relocate or look for internal reassignment.
