Pros

As someone already mentioned some of the people who are left are not as bitter. It's hard to come up with positives, when the atmosphere has been poisoned by the existing managers and directors

Cons

I see a number of reviews of the IT department here already and I can't add much more to that. Most of the people left have to answer to incompetent managers who are self serving and have no interest in your wellbeing. Offshoring is the norm. There is no interest in living corporate values. Crazy deadlines abound. Decisions are made in a political fashion with absolute no regard for fairness or equality. No training. No skills development. Work after hours is expected since planning is so poor or non existent. CIO is on the fast path to destroying this company

Pros

If you’re looking for a place where accountability doesn’t exist and you can do the bare minimum while getting paid maximum overtime, this is your spot. No approval needed, no questions asked—just stay late, watch YouTube, and collect your paycheck (plus free food if you linger long enough). Weekends are basically a free-for-all since the people who are supposed to supervise are either absent or the worst offenders.

Cons

This place is what happens when a parent company buys a smaller one and then completely forgets it exists. There is zero meaningful oversight. Management knows exactly what’s going on—they just don’t care as long as quotas are eventually met. Efficiency, integrity, and actual productivity mean nothing here. Documentation is either nonexistent or completely useless, full of errors and missing critical information. Parts are constantly missing, and instead of fixing the system, people exploit it to justify delays and stretch their hours. The entire operation rewards time-wasting over competence. The culture actively punishes anyone who tries to work a normal, honest 8-hour day. Want recognition or a raise? Better start padding your hours. The more time you burn, the more management “appreciates” you. It’s not about results—it’s about how long you can pretend to be working. Managers, being salaried, conveniently disappear when it matters most—nights and weekends—while turning a blind eye to the dysfunction they fully understand. Leadership isn’t absent by accident; it’s absent by choice.
