Pros

Good pay, great benefits, tuition reimbursement, an overall good working environment, and talented, top-notch employees.

Cons

Must be able to handle constant change.

Getting too bogged down in extensive software documents required in the development lifecycle to the detriment of producing actual software products.

Very complex IT system to understand.

Lots of outsourcing and offshoring going on in IT.

Advice to Management

Streamline the amount of documents needed in the software development life cycle, so that time can be spent in actual software development. Recognize the knowledge of employees who know your systems and how they interact, and reward those employees instead of outsourcing them to companies who will offshore their jobs.
