Pros

Very nice colleagues. Most of the management was ok. Everything is by the book at all times so you always know what you're meant to be doing. Good work-life balance - anticipated overtime was shared out fairly. You could take overtime as money or time in lieu which was great.

Cons

Very boring and repetitive work. You didn't really need to think.

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.
