Business Outlook
Pros
Good Work - Life Balance. For those in the technology field - good opportunity to pick up skills with different technologies. Access to Gartner research and analysts a positive perk, though it can also be a double-edged sword (those who have worked with analysts know what I'm talking about).
Cons
Hard to get noticed. Rewards and recognition many times affected by politics and relationships and not necessarily on the quality of one's work. Many "siloed" groups that don't interact well with each other, with management tacitly supporting this model by not actively encouraging more cooperation, particularly through example. Managers tend to be very territorial, and that attitude is passed down to subordinates.
