Good PTO. Good location. Good merit increase and bonus programs. Good professional development programs.

Terrible and/or incompetent leadership. HR only supports leaders, not employees. Poor access and quality for medical care. Big focus on diversity and inclusion, but only for protected class minorities.

IT Department is a great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good salary and PTO time. Everyone on the team is nice and work well together. The IT department kind of feels like it has a small company culture, despite it being part of a huge organization.

Cons

Health insurance is very expensive. You wouldn't expect that when this is a health care company, not sure why. HR department are not-sees, but everyone has mastered how to avoid / hide from them, just have to learn that from your direct coworkers, it's not hard.
