Pros

Great people, free books and Tiny Desk Concerts, work-life balance, Serendipity Days, strong support for doing it right. For a non-tech company, they do a lot of software development right.

Cons

Lots of turnover in upper management, communications issues, lack of stability in long term planning, recent financial issues have led to a lack of consistent bonuses, raises, and benefit improvements.

Pros

I was fully remote, learned so much from a great group of peers, the union is strong and active, pay was fair

Cons

The federal funding saga put a damper on morale, but that was pretty outside of the scope of what my team/manager could control.

tiny desks happen at work

Cons

soulless and corporate, management is all-powerful, benefits are slowly disappearing, few career prospects unless you fit a certain "profile"
