Pros
Good pay. Good benefits. Some interesting projects. Nice offices in San Francisco.
Cons
CIO and most senior leaders in EIS are empty suits. They don't understand current technologies and spend all day playing politics. They throw their people under the bus when they get in trouble. For example my apps team had a great leader who really changed things around here. He was technical and helped us to modernize everything from bringing in agile development to changing the languages and databases. He was the only member of CIO staff who had any real diversity on his leadership team. But the CIO decided to fire him because it was becoming obvious he was so much a better stronger leader. I actually asked the CIO what happened and got a political BS answer. Now we're going backwards at light speed and the CIO spends all day telling little stories and slogans and throwing people under the bus.
