Pros

Compensation is the only positive, they make it hard to leave because you are paid well, if you can stand it.

Cons

No autonomy, no personality, structured and regulated beyond all imagination, every procedure is controlled and dissected. Not normal and very stressful. CSA'S have way too much responsibility while the planners do very little.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
