Pros
Upon starting you are dropped into a team and get your hands dirty right way. I was put on a project that kicked off within a couple days of starting. It was very rewarding to get started right away. I have heard from other friends within my field that they have had to go through months of training before they were allowed to work on a project. The environment is very easy to work in. The offices for IT were all brand new. Each desk is a standing desk. It is an open floor plan so you can easily walk over to a colleague to ask for help. Everyone is so hopeful. If you have a question you can ask anyone. If you need to talk to a particular person but they are busy they always make time to talk to you once they have a free moment. It is a very fun place to work. There is a very vague dress code. Every Friday is the regular 'casual Friday' but you can easily get away with wearing jeans and a t-shirt every day if you wanted to. Which is nice because it's easy to work when you are comfortable. The company uses Agile for development. This has been amazing. We are in constant contact with stakeholders. Making it much easier eliminating any issues that may come along.
Cons
The relationship between the business and IT is different than other companies. IT does not have much say on what projects that they can do. Which leads to some difficult situations when it comes to what should be prioritized. Short term solutions become permanent solutions more often than not. It is understandable to have a couple of these occur but it is a unspoken understanding that 'short term' really means forever. The business holds more power than IT. Since the business lacks technical knowledge and when there is an issue with the solution they have come with they are rarely in favor of the better solution that IT comes up with. It does vary from team to team though. There are too many reorganizations. I have been at the company for just over two years and have already gone through two reorganizations. The lack of stability makes it difficult to continue with longer projects. If a project is supposed to span 18 months and 12 months in the team is changed time is wasted getting new members caught up to speed.
