Pros

Good health insurance, that's it.

Cons

Where do I begin? The pay is almost insultingly low, they give you a dollar raise per year if you earn it and tout it like it's the biggest raise ever. My dept manager literally said "we worked hard to get you this dollar raise". What a joke. Might have been nice back in 1975. Throughout the pandemic while we were WFH the C-Level executives kept telling us how much of an amazing job we were doing but the second the pandemic starts to subside, they want us back in the office 5 days a week. We broke revenue records during WFH but they won't acknowledge it, they need the control. They learned nothing! They plan to give us 26 work from home days which is, again, insultingly low. And you have to plan them in advance and request them like PTO, and you only get 3 days in a row. Oh btw, you have to buy your own equipment if you plan to take advantage of this "benefit". This company is run by old white men who are stuck in the 1980s, don't expect any kind of modernization any time soon. No accountability for employees who are underperforming.

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.
