Pros

Had a very lean IT organization, decent benefits, people and the culture was great until they hired the new IT management team

Cons

The new IT leadership went from a very lean to full of so called managers and directors who had no utilities domain experience. For example, the management split one team into 3 teams, added a 2 additional managers, a director, managing director, VP and so on. Who in the world adds more management layers in the current agile IT world?

Pros

Immediate team culture good, pay and benefits decent

Cons

Becoming toxic, lack of communication and understanding. Ex: flattening middle management while adding more executive leadership but not eliminating the tasks needed of middle management so individuals doing multiple roles and tasks above or without pay grade with little to no notice or training.
