Pros

*Open door policy *Managers and supervisors are doing great jobs *Rapid development process for almost for projects *Great training *No food smell in office because everyone must eat in lunch room *CEO does say HI to employees

Cons

*Fixed 9 hours working schedule, employee must takes 1 hour lunch *Short vacation only 2 weeks *Medical, dental and vision insurance used to be great but now just average *Too much attention put on seniority not ability *Useless directors *Slow decision making process *Office politic is daily event *Incompetent developers (probably worst in the IT field, well who wants to wear tie if they can get job in Google, Amazon or Microsoft) *Use all kind of Open Source software but never contribute back to the community *One version of truth = one point of disaster *Low quality standard, if it works then it is good enough. Usability is never considered *QA team is way under resourced then managers expect to test everything *When having round table with IT directors, they all sound like they know it all especially those who used to be runners when they are 15 and never had a college degree.

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.
