Pros

* You too can sit in those Zoom meetings forever, be marked as present and pass performance reviews.

Cons

* Hordes of middle management and their minions talking pipe dreams in endless Zoom meetings, eventually getting their projects cancelled and moving onto next. * Half of meetings are spent deciding which communication tool to use for desktop sharing, then setting it up, since there are 3 used simultaneously. * Tons of poorly configured and disjointed company wide tools, overlapping each other doing same things in different and incompatible ways. * You need to open 3-4 tickets in different systems just to get a simple task completed or obtain basic access. * Total lack of security culture on developer level, publishing their private data on every platform possible. * Sending huge stacks of attached files over email without making use of content management systems, resulting in tons of outdated versions floating all over the place. * Professionals with up to date expertise and real world achievements are being pushed out because nobody wants change. Why would they? * Endless bureaucracy, micromanaging every little aspect, they cannot have groups control their own applications or related infrastructure, there must be a dozen other teams overlapping on top, blocking your every move. So they can sit in meetings forever and keep themselves employed.

Pros

Benefits & pay are competitive. Not the top in the industry, but good. Excellent opportunities for professional development for people who are self-starters and motivated to learn.

Cons

Business leaders use all the popular buzzwords and phrasing to assure you the business is leading the industry, but in practice Senior Leadership is hanging on to archaic business strategies like their lives depend on it.
