Pros

Stable and no history of layoffs. Clean and well kept offices. Benefits are good (medical, dental...) Initial openness of Senior Management set a good tone early on and helped explain the company.

Cons

No HR - for a company of over 10,000 this is a major issue, if you have an issue with management there are very few avenues available to file any sort of grievance or seek to improve the overall working environment. Training is lacking and extremely ad hoc. The seeming opaque and arbitrary nature of upper management, low pay with little chance of meaningful increase - though work load and responsibilities will increase at a good clip that far outpaces ones pay scale. The culture is full of well meaning slogans though they become simply platitudes that are bandied about.

Pros

Stability and job security, formerly. Compressed work weeks and work-life balance, formerly. A 47-year no-layoff policy tested in two recessions and a pandemic. Formerly. Now? Well, all of those are gone, so it's hard to really cite anything other than that there's health care and the paychecks don't bounce.

Cons

The same stuff that's always been there, for one. Strict dress code. Dated systems they're trying to run away from as fast as humanly possible. Strict in-office culture with limited WFH. Little to no upward mobility; most senior management has been there for 20+ years and when someone does get promoted, the remaining jobs often seem to magically go to their buddies without getting bid. A complete inability to manage and coordinate anything effectively amongst multiple teams, which apparently is going to be somehow solved by laying off almost all the project/program managers. Oh, and on top of all that? Now, the new regime will lay you off, but first they'll gaslight you and claim the no-layoff policy never existed. Then they'll claim the team managers (who they conveniently also laid off) did the rankings that determined who got cut. Then they'll put a bunch of the survivors into a "bootcamp" and then make them interview to keep their jobs.
