Pros

Large, stable, extremely profitable company. Broad spectrum of technology/projects. Some very talented employees. Some of the jobs are covered by an employee union. Their union employees still get a pension plan, which is extremely rare (but the company is actively trying to take this away)! Company tries hard to promote Diversity and Inclusion programs.

Cons

TruStage is constantly reorganizing; your boss or the leadership of different areas of the company will never be stable. Company has no interest in supporting or investing in their employees. They've gone from from supporting and recognizing their employees years ago, to currently doing everything in their power to take away any benefits that might make their employees happy. Talks a lot about trying to attract the best talent while simultaneously offering benefits at the low end of the spectrum; candidates literally laugh in interviews when presented with their potential benefits package. Company is actively trying to outsource as much work as possible to contracting firms. Company just had the first employee strike in company history. Many of the most talented employees have started jumping ship, and it seems this trend will continue and increase. Some areas of the company use cutting edge technology (the startups the Company keeps acquiring), while other areas are still using mainframe and are barely serviceable; you need to be careful which area of the Company you join.

Pros

Great company with lots of problems to solve in IT. There's always room for you to grow, new problems to solve, and they are generally just a good place to work. Hybrid work environment is great as well.

Cons

Non-industry-standard titles for IT employees, and I feel like salaries might be just a touch below industry standards as well.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
