Pros

- Mostly 40-45 hour weeks. - Slower paced and lower stress work environment - individual contributions and achievements recognized frequently - stable and predictable company that provides great work life balance - senior management are all very experienced in the field or with the company. I generally get a feel that the higher ups know what they are doing

Cons

- limited opportunities for remote work/WFH and work travel - lots of work with many older/outdated software stacks - slow pace of work not for everybody - compensation for software professionals is below average for the industry. Medical and other benefits very sub par
