Pros
Virtually no micromanagement under I.T. leadership. Show that you can be trusted to run a project and you will be given full support. Mistakes are absolutely tolerated as long as there are clear lessons learned and communicated. Tons of room to make real impact in the company. Budget available within team for personal career development. Team is very open to new ideas and everyone is encouraged to chime in during meetings. Peers were great to work with. Work hard / play hard type attitude and flexible with existing staff. Way ahead of even typical tech startups in terms of technology being deployed. Can't really beat the work/life balance. It was great here.
Cons
Some challenges in getting various staff to adopt to new technologies but that's expected in any company really. As long as the I.T. staff continue to be active listeners and move forward with deployments in small iterations, I have no doubt their implementations & upgrades will continue to assist with moving company forward.
