Pros

Good location from NY Metro Area Not a lot of pressure No accountablity

Cons

-Salary and Comp are 20% to 30% lower than similar firms -Getting business requirements complete / understood by IT is a challenge -Technology Items that are core in other firms have to be funded by individual business owners and therefore never get funding. -Sr. IT management lacks strategy and direction -CIO barely speaks English and her people are frustrated. -Each department is run as a separate unit with no cohesion or best practices, when I moved from department to department, It is like I have a new job however, all moves are treated as lateral.

No clear business vision - frequent change of direction, no clearly articulated short term business goals or equivalent IT plans, consensus paralysis resulting in wrong or no decision, constant change because of wrong decisions, impossible to get your voice heard or influence anything, no cost control of change / no avareness of commercial aspects
