Pros

Corporate stability makes a fair sense of security in one's job. Varied and ever-changing tasks keeps your mind engaged. Generally very competent, professional immediate coworkers and management. Pay is decent, retirement package is generous. Not-for-profit mission is well-internalized by most folks. Promotions easily achievable for those who are talented and motivated -- and for those who have the right connections.

Cons

IT infrastructure more at home in 1977 than 2011, desktop and mainframe, and most unhelpful IT staff. A higher than normal amount of political intrigue. Seriously, this is an insurance company, not the court of the Byzantine Empire. Health insurance plan, ironically, is sub-par.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
