Pros

Pay is usually in line or better. You can get exposed to many other projects. 401k is a good program. Educational opportunities are available. Managers are generally understanding if life events get in the way.

Cons

Middle and lower end management relies very heavily on upper management direction which can stifle creativity and major solution opportunities. The office politics create a CYA environment. Mobility is not impossible, but challenging. Health benefits are awful.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
