Pros

They never fire anybody. If you are a poor performer, then they push you off to a different team. Being seen as a poor performer really has nothing to do with your job experience. All they really care about is whether you follow all their trivial rules that they have. Clock in at 8am and clock out at 5pm and pretend like you are working hard and you will fit right in.

Cons

Professional work attire, nepotism (just ask anybody how they got into the company), low salary, senior level management that belong in the industrial revolution. A lot of people list that they have good health insurance, but every single company I worked for after this one offered me better health insurance plus other benefits. Their ESPP and 401(k) matches and other stock options do not vest unless you stay there for at least 5 years.

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.
