Sinking Tech Ship

Pros

- CME name on your resume will help you get an interview at other places. - Lower pay than peers, but good benefits.

Cons

- CEO signed 10-Year deal with Google Cloud and did not invovle CIO or Technology Leaders. Now the org is focused on finding "problems" to solve with a solution they've been given. - Company has had multiple rounds of layoffs over the past 5 years. It is a constant cycle. - The experienced Tech leaders have all retired or left in past 3 years. Others should read the writing on the wall.

Pros

Smart employees, plenty of exposure to senior management, can assume lots of responsibility early

Cons

Increases in responsibility will likely not be reflected in title or pay, pay lags industry peers, sizable influence of office politics, senior management seems detached from employee experience.

focus on workplace culture

Pros

A few years under a fair and transparent manager provided a supportive work environment with more promising career opportunities - a nod to the individual department/team(s) setting that tone. Some good spots must remain but do your due diligence. Various re-orgs and roles revealed a very different experience in other areas. - Opportunity to work on large and complex business projects - Competitive pay and benefits for financial services

Cons

Inconsistent and disappointing workplace culture - unfortunately depends too much on where you are who you work for. -Good old boy network and cliquey; there is much room for improvement in diversity, inclusion, creating a culture of respect for all colleagues. -Hierarchical structure and "who you know" culture keeps talent buried in the org and erodes trust. -HR continues to push moving laterally vs. up - promotions can take years or never happen for some
