Pros

Grounded, strong financial stability. Long standing history.

Cons

For profits at to be at all-time highs, seems to be reducing raises and bonuses, removing more and more perks, no reimbursements for employee paid technology. Penny pinching compensations but expecting more from employees. Replacing tangible money with store credits and "work-life balance" services that not all employees can relate to or use. Trying to drive out work from home flexibility - now limiting talent pool and previous growth opportunities.
