Pros

Learning new technologies that are in development or are ready to hit the market.

Cons

If you want to get overworked, unpaid, and underappreciated, this is the place you want to be.

I have never seen management try to cut corners to save a buck more than I have in the Systems and Technology Group.

And not to mention the sheer incompetence of team leads not making an effort to distribute accurate and correct test plans to complete necessary projects on time.

Once a project does reach its completion date, there is no appreciation expressed for the hard work or overtime spent to meet project deadlines by management.

It's off to the races to try and complete the next disaster of a project that you're assigned.

Advice to Management

How about you listen to the needs of your employees in order to get the job done properly, instead of trying to keep the stockholders happy by keeping the share price up?
