Pay scale is decent. I won't say the best, but you won't be disappointed. Top management is usually good for the Tech Team. They listen and they understand. They have been quite considerate during the bad times while we were working from home.

Dislikes

Too much work load at times. Ad Hoc business requirements shatters the quarterly plans at times. We are helpless and have to follow the instructions.
