Pros

Great benefits, job security, interesting solution domain. If your program downsizes, as long as you're a solid contributor - they will find another slot for you instead of layoff.

Cons

Low pay for long term employees. UTC takeover. High stress.

Pros

Flexible work hours and available use of Mod time for extra PTO on top of generous PTO allowance from start

Pay is extremely unfair between people hired at different times / departments. Upper management not willing to increase pay to keep retention which causes many to leave.
