IT’S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO; IT’S ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW AND WHO YOU ARE WILLING TO THROW UNDER THE BUS!
Pros
Decent pay and PTO. Nice office environment with free coffee, espresso and cappuccino.
Cons
No training provided. Literally thrown into the deep end of the pool with no lifeguards and IT managers who are frantically trying to fix all the mistakes made by the staff they failed to train! Due to the total chaos every project gets escalated to senior management. Tenured employees are quick to throw new employees under the bus rather than work together to get the job done. In fact, working “together” with other teams is not encouraged and will get you labeled as someone who is unable to carry their own weight. And if you expect to have an HR department to work with, forget it. They have a CR (Colleague Resources) department that is strictly there to support the managers and not employees. CIO seems to be a nice guy. He is either a great actor, or clueless on how his managers run the departments. Work life balance does not exist and if you decide you will not succumb to the 18 hour, 7 days a week for months on end, you are setting yourself up to get pushed out. If you can be happy being a “resource” with a company that has no heart and will replace you in a heartbeat, this place will be fine for you. Absolutely the worst company I have ever worked for.
