Pros

Caring, supportive and passionate personnel.

Cons

A half hazard reorganization took place today. Sloppily thrown out to the entire IT organization. Peoples names were thrown on an org chart then e-mailed. Upon looking to find where you now belong, you also find people slotted on the wrong chart and even worse, peoples names missing all together.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice corporate campus and work space; great cafeterias in which the cost of the food is subsidized; casual dress; good benefits; high interest in giving back to the community

Cons

It's a sweat shop; lots of churn due to all the organizational changes which results in rework and long hours. Lots of power plays at the management level and between departments. Also, telecommuting needs to be more broadly implemented, and the use of technology to support that championed. There is no reason much of the work couldn't be done from home, but there is limited use of the available technology.
