Pros

Work-life balance is manageable, 8-5 with no overtime. Work load is very managable, you may even struggle to fill your full workday sometimes. Great place to coast to retirement if your burnt out, terrible if you still want to grow and learn things.

Cons

Full in office, no hybrid no flexible time. 26 days remote max. Buisness attire required - (No ties or suit jackets but come on. You should care about the work I produce not what I wear.) Office Politics in full swing - Few metrics to track your current performance means you better make friends who will talk you up and you better hope your manager likes you. Many people who have been there 15+ years. Might be considered good for knowledge but the ones I know are stuborn and inflexible in the way they do things. Tech stack is legacy java codebase, mostly just adding on to it rather than inventing new stuff. Systems mostly still on old windows servers that they still expand manually when at capacity rather than migrating to cloud. Terrible, "This is the way it's always been and this is how it works best" mentality among some people.

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.
