      Pros

      Good compensation, stable industry, a pension, generous paid time off if you can afford to take it, great location. Big-company technology in a small company forces staff to have multiple skills. After the multiple rounds of cuts, IT is getting more efficient in many areas. Management in some areas are excellent.

      Cons

      80% of the work is done by 20% of the staff. Very difficult to get promoted, priorities shift daily, long term strategic planning next to impossible, and many highly paid / highly titled employees in the technology planning area don't pull their own weight. Working hours very stressful. 6-day work weeks are common.

      Pros

      The bonus's are good. you get to work with really smart people and they have a commitment to the job

      Cons

      Going to a consultant only model they are losing the best and brightest talent. At this point they are glad to see people leave so they do not need to pay the severance packages. In order to get people to leave I believe management is making it so difficult for people to do the job that they have no choice but to leave. there is No work life balance despite what is said. it is a work work balance. you will need to work nights, weekends, holidays. I lived it and could only take so much when there is no end in sight.
