Overtime rarely recognized yet expected, On-call requirements even over previously planned vacations and holidays, Lack of investment into anything cutting-edge - Expect to be working on decades old code bases and frameworks, Good old boys club type of culture, Slow to migrate to new technologies, Slow to adapt to changing culture - it has an 80s/90s corporate culture feel, Voices of technical experts often ignored when suggestions might cost $ or go against the opinions of non-technical decision makers/ management, Lack of standardization across the organization, Lack of career growth opportunities for anybody technical, for ANY advancement there is a push to go less technical, Unfair pay across individuals with the same job descriptions, experience and team value, Bare minimum maternity and paternity leave, No vacation roll over from year to year, Out of date offices for IT organization only (other areas of the company have top of the line office spaces), Massive outsourcing of IT organization If you are looking for an IT job that is relevant, cutting edge, and rewarding, this is not the place to work.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
