Pros

The tech stack, the cloud apps, the tools we get to use, are all quite modern. There's a lot you get to learn if you are coming from a less modern company. There are also lots of motivated brilliant people around you at all times who are a treat to work with and learn from.

Cons

The new CIO seems to be very fond of gutting the department and moving the jobs offshore. They seemed to have already started looking at cost cutting In addition to that, it doesn't matter the complexity of an issue if you cannot get it resolved immediately the way management likes it, you will be yelled at. This is usually coming from the top of our chain, which is unfortunate since our managers and directors are great to work with.

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
