Good benefits. IT executives no longer care about work-life balance
Good benefits. IT executives no longer care about work-life balance
Good benefits. Interesting work, learning new technologies and developing new, evolving services.
Executives expect 50-60 hour work weeks.
Managers are on call 24x7 and developers often do production support at night.
There is no job security since many jobs have gone to India.
There is no work-life balance in IT.
Unreasonable project schedules lead to long work days.
This is not bad if you are single, but it is difficult if you want a family life and/or a career to retirement.
Practice what Verizon HR preaches: show appreciation for employees, set reasonable schedules, and provide work/life balance for IT employees.
