Pros

Great healthcare. Decent benefits. Easy with great work life balance. Loved most of the people I worked with!

Cons

Constant restructure, new leaders/managers every year, projects always lose funding, no budget for anything (literally anything) in the shared services in corporate. Layoffs 2x a year, sometimes more. It takes two years to hire a role once approved for the headcount. Very slow to promote. I got laid off after five years.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
