Pros

Great healthcare, great work life balance as you can always say no to working past your hours. If you have two of the following: white, male, related to someone in management or above, you will do exceptionally well there. You automatically get raises very year no matter what you produce because management cares more about retaining you, which is really great considering other competitors are more cut-throat. They don't fire people or lay off people. The worst is that they transition you to another team. It's one of those company where you can easily retire because of the slow pace of work and timelines can always be stretched out. Just don't go into one of those customer-facing teams and the company can be really rewarding. It's easy to have drinks and make friends here.

Cons

There's not enough flexibility in the scheduling for non-IS groups. IS has a new flexible work schedule that was rolled out but the rest of the company was not able to try it out which is really unfair. Also, new employees get 15 days of vacation right away (used to be at the 3 year mark). This is a con because they adjusted it for new people but did not adjust it for current people. I've been here for 6+ years and won't get any additional holiday until the 10 year mark. Also, there's no paid time off for fathers. You have to just use up all your vacation/sick days then take unpaid leave.

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.
