Pros

Be part of a certain culture and all is well. Opportunities and promotions will come your way. Company believes firmly in DEI as a "fundamental pillar". Merit is not a critical success factor.

Cons

Non-technical managers managing technical staff. Minimal opportunity for advancement. Roles and responsibilities vary depending on the situation. Salaries do not keep pace with CPI. Management silos alive and well. Management indifference with respect to internal policies. Lack of accountability. Subjective annual review process. High turnover in certain divisions. Obsolete or antiquated technologies. Huge salary inequity between staff and senior management for a non-profit.
