Vantaggi
For now, flexible hours, work from home a couple times a week. Opportunity to learn new technology, expand fields of interest. Benefits are average.
Svantaggi
Seating/office environment is open and on top of each other. There are small desks lined up and facing one another, can be awkward. Very noisy environment with exec VPs taking open offices but everyone else to "find an open spot". Odd that largest commercial real estate company in the world can't provide nicer corp offices for IT folks. Other non-IT offices are much nicer but IT is herded into open seating under the guise of "promoting collaboration". Leadership also seems to be fixated on propaganda/promoting, and thus creating barriers, groups based on race or other "identities" of the day. Most dismiss it, even joking about creating corp spam email filters for certain keywords.
