Pros
A very few people in Enterprise Architecture know what they’re doing
Cons
IT development is run by Infosys and TCS and they’ve entirely taken over operations. In 2015 SCE let go over 300 full time people and replaced them with Infosys and TCS, offshore companies. Since then IT’s budget has tripled and the quality of work done primarily by people in India has been severely lacking in quality while at the same time skyrocketing in costs. Two reorgs have enabled incompetent managers that have been there for life and essentially taken control away from the few people like myself in Enterprise Architecture that actually know what they’re doing. I chose to leave before even having a new job because the toll it was taking on me severely impacted the quality of life and it pained me to see the wasteful practices of over spending and incompetence. If you value your career then this is not the place for you!
