Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Nice people. Cool products.

Cons

Large bureaucratic company, dependent on seniority-based hierarchies. Currently, limited opportunities for advancement and growth.

Skill set expectations set to the lowest common denominator. IT management sourced from engineering and manufacturing, limited in skill and knowledge with little formal IT training or experience.

Virtual and telecommuting opportunities are disappearing. Forced relocations.

Advice to Management

Hire and retain skilled managers and employees. Don't buy into hype cycles. Better strategic leadership.
