Pros

The culture is strong on paper. Industry leader in the region, Fast promotion for young employees. Stock plan great if you were in early. Solid gold diamond encrusted pyramid scheme. Managed by a select few intellegent people. Loyalty is strong within the circle of trust. Hope you like Kool-Aid. Great place for getting your career started or coming in for a landing.

Cons

Kool Aid drinking a must. Don't rock the boat. Stay in your place. Bonus never trickles down. Raises slow to pay dividends without promotions. Select few intelligent people are always one offer away from leaving. Bad place for the strong intermediate employees.

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.
