Don't come here now, you will probably get let go in 6 months.

Vice president, infrastructure

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not much beyond the usual, people are generally ok to work with.

Cons

-They cut rollover vaca days (use them or lose them) -Takes 5 years to be fully vested -Comp tends to be on the low end and no salary transparency (person next to you with same title probably getting paid more than you) -Bonuses are a joke (the attitude from managers is be grateful you have a job) -Senior management leaving in droves, causing major disruptions -Massive restructuring, morale is terrible as many colleagues are losing their jobs in the next few months -Half the stuff that you will work on will never get implemented or used because there are no resources. Pretty much every one is looking for a job elsewhere.

Cons

Political environment No job security even for good tech guys Too much diversity show off but zero at ground level Many managers treat you like a slaves Unhealthy work environment HR for nameshakes and good for nothing , they have zero power and they are pure puppet of even VP level people Regret to join even in 2 weeks so think before decide.

Vice president

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Opportunity to gain hands-on experience in dealing with the sort of issues you cannot encounter in other workplaces. 2. Pay is not bad and benefits (pension in particular) are also good. 3. Despite the constant negative press headline, it's still a good name to have on your CV. 4. If you are joining the graduate scheme or if you’re still early in your career, this is not a bad place to join overall. 5. The new infrastructure hub in London is not a bad workplace, with good amenities and facilities (much better than the patchwork of outdated offices they had in central London).

Cons

1. Highly political organization where logic and reason do not apply. 2. Extremely bureaucratic, rigid, and inefficient. 3. Many departments within Infrastructure are top-heavy and room for progression is limited. If you are senior level professional, especially in areas like HR, Compliance, Risk, Legal, etc., you will probably struggle to find opportunities to move up. 4. Management’s inability to take decisive action and the never-ending stream of negative press headline and the ensuring random restructuring, cost-cutting, etc. can be very demoralising. 5. If you stay here too long, you can become institutionalise and lose the edge required to thrive in another workplace.
