Pros

The management team was largely out of touch which meant there was little oversight of my day-to-day work. I was largely left to do what I wanted.

Cons

The lack of management oversight and management being out of touch with what was going left lack of recognition of how under-resourced the business was. I was expected to do the workload of ~3 to 4 people in other companies I have worked in. There was no work/life balance. Dealt with bullies in the workplace. Those bullies were untouchable because they had been with the company for so many years. There is very little opportunity for advancement. Internal candidates within the regulatory group were continually passed over for advancement opportunities.

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.
