Pros

Free internet and TV for FTE

Cons

IT Management doesn’t have an IT mindset. Policies put on IT department are same as field technicians or call center employees. Still stuck in 20 years old management style where CEO thinks for IT employees, work is done more efficiently from office and not from home. So wouldn’t allow work from home even during COVID 19. Google search “staff angered as charter prohibits working from home despite spread of corona virus” No work from home policy. Dress code policy for IT where you can’t wear jeans even on Friday. Forget about T shirt and all. Once you join on one designation, you’ll be stuck there as there is no clear career path. So promotions are almost impossible. Laptops you get will be old and with lowest configuration. Most times you’ll start with 2 or 4 gigs of RAM and it might be HDD. Not much support for individual career growth or professional development. No support for external professional certification or training to keep improving your skills. Compensation is not as per industry standards. You’ll have to be a great negotiator to get industry average.

Pros

Other than, incompetent management it would have been a great place to work.

Cons

management is not organised, today they say don't do this, tomorrow they enforce to do what must not be done yesterday, two days later disapproved the same thing they were ok with.
