Pros

Benefits benefits benefits Can be low pressure environment depending on your manager and work New atrium is cool place to work, good for internal networking and customer visits

Cons

Because pay is fair and benefits are excellent, most staff feel trapped in a place they don't enjoy, and don't have the energy to search for another job. Cons for me were mostly program based, and your experience is likely based on which projects you are on. Most staff work around the systems in place for most processes: promoting, delegating work, hiring, to name a few. My program had an attitude of finding work to do because we had money coming in rather than because we had specific project needs. There was a large pressure on the staff member to find work rather than work being assigned or delegated.

Pros

Interesting work, good colleagues, company is supportive and there is good work/life balance. There are leadership opportunities for those to want them. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up with inflation. It's hard to break in as a new employee. There is a lot of change, mostly for the better but a lot of change.
