Pros

stable, large corporation, somewhat relaxed,

Cons

no career advancement. no growth opportunities from within, management will keep you in your job even if they and your peers know you deserve to advance. Management are set in their ways and only consider certain educational institutions good enough for people to work there. More interested in money than the employee or the customer. Management really has no power to stand up for workers- meaning the boss can't do anything to promote from within even if the though is you should move up. Employees are treated as numbers, not individuals. Some management are not honest. Management has favoritism with employees.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
