Pros

Coworkers across the globe are great. Interesting work. Stability before and during the pandemic.

Cons

Incredibly outdated mindset held by executive management. Men (finally) no longer have to wear ties, but we still have to dress up to come to the office and do the job we can quite productively do at home. The 26 WFH days per year is disappointing and insulting. Employees are continuously told we're the company's greatest asset but it's clear that our greatest asset is that big chunk of cash in the bank that lines executive pockets. In IS, you had no qualms about re-organizing the entire department while we were working from home, but now you insist that we work in the office, face to face.

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.
