Pros

The pay and vacation time is decent.

Cons

My manager led me to believe that there would be little to no travel. But 2 days after I started I was told that I would have to travel every other week between 2 cities. This is TOTALLY unacceptable. I told her from the beginning interview that I did not want to travel. I get little real work to do because the contractors run this company's IT department. They dole out small amounts of work to me. I have voiced my concerns to my manager and team lead with no results.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
