Pros
- Some IT staff have a flexible work arrangement (WFH, alternate hours). Unclear if this is going to last. - Salaries are pretty competitive if you come from outside. - High performers will shine against long time/disgruntled employees
Cons
- Professional growth (outside of just learing how CTL does things) is non-existant - No real training whatsoever (plenty of web based, cheap training) - Promotion and career opportunities are rare. Merger created some opportunities, but going forward will likely be very static. - Upper management in IT seems to be a culture of 'yes' and cronyism. - Merger has created a disfunctional environment, and will likely require another year or so to settle. - IT Program Managers are subject to inane/onerous processes from people who have no idea on how to manage IT initiatives - Be ready for a mountain of administration that a monkey could do.
