Pros

People working in the IT department were very skilled and even nice to you most of the time. There’s also room for improvements, especially if you can show that those will make the company save money. They have an attractive tuition bonus you can use for training.

Cons

Management is terrible. My manager never used his "innovations badge," so even when we made good improvements to the process and the systems, nobody on the team ever received an incentive. They are usually driven by "visibility," no matter if it comes from smoke selling. They also have ridiculous "enterprise politics" such as no taking pictures in the office or even listening to Spotify. HR is one of the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. You end up feeling that they don’t care about people and the only thing they care about is money and "making business."

Advice to Management

There are lots of bad practices that directors and managers are using.

Maybe they can lay off managers instead of performing employees.
