Pros

Overall good people to work with. The healthcare benefits were great. I did learn a few things related to my job. A few fun employee outings.

Cons

Branch was technology illiterate. They did not value their IS people as they saw them as a cost and a hurt to their bonuses. The IS management of that area were all about roadblocks and wanted you to take the same path in your career as they did. The branch management used negative reinforcement more than positive, constantly mentioning the possibility of layoffs and would treat you like a child instead of an educated adult that has talent to offer. Promised me lots of career opportunities then told me I couldn't explore those opportunities once I started so fast, had to wait and jump through hoops first.

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.
