      Pros

      Nice building. Good, smart people who wamt to make a difference in a political company culture. Cafeteria is good. Good work/life Balance. People tend to leave before 5pm and by 5:10pm the building is empty.

      Cons

      They are trying to change the fear driven, cya culture that was instituted by the previous CEO. Unfortunately, they are not quite there yet. The ”lifetime way” sounds great on paper, but teamwork and accountability are not found as often as one would hope. Parking is expensive and the waiting list for reduced cost monthly parking is 6-12 months.

                Pros

                The benefits are absolutely fantastic. Good work life balance.

                Cons

                - Upper IT management is seemingly promoting micromanagement. Agile transformation is going against everything the agile methodology is about. It is making developers lives harder, and SCRUM masters are now pushing for devs to do more work so they can justify the team numbers to upper management. - Upper IT management seems shield themselves in secrecy. You hear murmurs of reorgs and when you confront middle management about it, they act like they've never heard anything about it. - Fantastic long term employees are leaving or actively searching for new positions in droves. Turnover in the IT dept will be high in the next few months. - Promotions are hard to come by.

                  -You’ll never be paid what your worth. Any mention of pay will be met with a weak increase. Or they just can’t afford.

                      Hello! I have two interviews, one tomorrow & another one on Friday. I'm preparing cause I feel that I'm not very good at them & I hate that. So, I'm researching, taking notes & praying a whole lot lol! Is it okay to refer to notes during an interview? Should I ask interviewer if it's okay? I wanna do my best & feel it'll help some ... a little more confidence I guess!

                      What is a normal/common resume length for c2c/consultant roles in tech? What about a fte resume? My contract role resume used to be 5-6pages, this was 4years ago, prior to covid. Not sure if this is still a norm. Meanwhile my fte resume is concise, 2pages long. I have 10years of exp for reference.
