Pros

You're continually learning new things. Once you have grasped one concept they will introduce you to something else. The compensation packages are quite respectable in this day and age.

Cons

The learning curve is very steep and doesn't let up for quite some time. They provide support for learning new things, however due to the vast amount of knowledge within the company it is impossible to support people in individual ways. They send you out the door and you essentially sink or swim. You can go quite some time without actually doing the job as they might expect you to do it without even really knowing.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
