Business Outlook

Pros

Decent work life balance and opportunities to work around the world

Cons

Management pays lip service to pursuing new technologies, but their senior architects are so out of touch that they cannot pull together a coherent plan. There are too many tightly held silos that prevent any measure of DevOps. Senior managers are never held accountable for failing projects, but they are quick to fire the people under them.
