Pros

It was a very formal straight forward interview process. It lasted only a few weeks and they got back to me quickly. Know financial statements, how depreciation or writedowns would affect all three.

Cons

Prepare to spend the next 2 years inside a cubicle. Little to no life outside of the office. Pay is industry standard, but work more hours than most.

Pros

It's nearly impossible to get fired. After many years, the IT department has hired a diverse team. Coworkers were intelligent and ethical.

Cons

Unusual that, until after Covid, the IT department was about 95% Caucasian, but now the diversity seems to be due to the ability to lower salaries, and worsen work/life balance. Management will only promote yes-people, or hire from the outside. It's akin to working in IT in 1990s, there is little process or structure. Laptops weren't given to IT until after Covid (yes you read that right), and when they were handed out, they were the used laptops from revenue generating departments that had been upgraded. It was a very chaotic environment.
