Pros
There is never a lack of complex projects and issues to resolve. There is rarely a dull moment. You work with people all over the world which is interesting and fun.
Cons
The competition between employees is relentless. Even your boss competes with you (and your bosses boss) which is tiring. The management is a weak in terms of professional development and mentoring. There is a lack of seasoned, motivational leaders. Management does not give firm feedback when coworkers are rude or mean. Being cut-throat and mean is not discouraged. People typically do not have a filter when they communicate, blurting opinions with out the knowledge to back it up. There are rarely promotions in IT and when there are people are left scratching their heads as to why the people chosen were promoted at all. Management and non-management do not respect boundaries of ownership in projects and tasks. They will openly and without regard, take over tasks or portions of your work/responsibilities. It’s awkward when your management does it, as you don’t want to anger them by asking them not to step on toes.
