Pros

Some people are great to work with

Cons

If you don't know someone one higher up good luck ever getting promoted or being able to transfer internally. They'll also pay you more so you literally can't transfer pigeon holed into a specific role forever

Pros

Benefits are decent (but not special). A paycheck was deposited on time each month. (Yes once a month, so you’ll wait a while.)

Cons

Broken processes, annoying re-work, infrastructure groups don’t like security, work objectives are planned in a vacuum and dished out to the masses (heavy command and control structure), poor interaction and work streams between teams/depts, mediocre management that thinks they are top notch. And best of all they are dabbling in Agile and doing it wrong. And much more! Great place to put your head down or end a career.

Pros

Benefits are very, very good.

Cons

Though it tries to think of itself as innovative, the company is outdated in everything but benefits. They say they want to evolve, but it is half-hearted. There are too many senior execs who have been there for decades to really foster any change. Diversity and inclusion is non-existent, politics run rampant throughout the organization and every 4-6 months there's a new operating model.
