Pros
There are some amazing people that are a part of the IT organization. They know their respective lines of expertise better than anyone else in the business. I believe the CEO really cares and is open & approachable by anyone in the firm. They have a global presence and you get exposure to many different regulatory bodies, markets, cultures, etc.
Cons
The CIO will scream at you if you do something wrong. She will text / call you at all hours of the day/night with 'issues' that are not real issues. She has to be center stage on everything and has to be involved. All of the previously strong / good leaders have left, and she is now surrounded by 'yes' men/women that only agree with her & tell her what she wants to hear because that is how they don't get screamed at, and advance their careers. She will artificially push down annual review ratings, resulting in every staff member in IT getting a reduced bonus amount even after working like dogs for the previous 6 months to accomplish business objectives. (Oh the firm as a whole grew from Fortune117 to Fortune48 in that same time period) If she doesn't like you, even if you're doing your job, she will orchestrate your release from the company. Always have all communications in writing. She will gaslight you into believing that she has your best interest at heart, when in reality its in her own best interest to keep you down, grateful that you have a job. They are pushing everyone back in the office because 'culture matters' and 'this is how we work best' even though we grew and delivered significantly while fully remote.
