Pros

Good pay and benefits. Despite the failures of leadership, bonus payouts are excellent. Smart people who still care.

Cons

Executive leadership is completely out of touch and the company is directionless. Every year there are multiple rounds of layoffs, aging infrastructure gets worse every year, morale is low and the joke is that people hang on to “get a package”. Opportunities for advancement are very few and far between.
