Pros

Very stable job- nice bonuses thrown to high performers to try in an attempt to keep people around. Great work life balance and engagement with community. Really smart people.

Cons

Not competitive in market salary (I left and received a 40% pay raise for same job), controlled by the PUC so business decisions are hard to make, leadership constantly changing (6 years and had 3 bosses, 3 VPS and 2 CEOs in short time). Driven by short term stock growth

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
