Pros

People are nice, great benefits, amazing work/life environment.

Cons

People get promotions from who they know even if they have zero experience. People are just punching a clock waiting for their retirement. Very much a government mentality. Our area didn't have enough work for one person, and we had three people doing nothing all day. If you like to not work this is the place to be.

Pros

Best manager I've ever had Great coworkers Very few meetings (median was probably 0, busier weeks might have 5 hours of meetings total). Exceptional benefits (health/dental/vision, 5 weeks PTO + 2 weeks holidays, 401k, 401a, free public transit, and more). Very good job security, although it's somewhere between public sector and private sector.

Cons

Return to work policy post-COVID-19 is bad. Trying to make IT employees return to work, but also not enforcing it, which results in a ton of confusion and wasted a lot of my time/money. IT upper management is very bad. They often lie (e.g. return-to-work, raises) and the town halls just sap your energy for the day. Tech stack is mostly outdated (e.g. VB.NET + WinForms, ASP.NET, some visual studio 2005, Crystal Reports). No culture of cybersecurity Underpaid Only 1 year of raises in IT across ~15 years. IT should be unionized.

Even more a "National Disgrace" than ever before

Pros

If you're lazy, then you might still move up (promotions based mostly on praising the right people), but even if you don't they won't ever fire you. If you're young with little education you can get good opportunities, they're focused on the young right now. Don't stay there though, leave as soon as you can and find a better company to work for.

Cons

No pay raises for hard working employees and jobs go to outsiders with no qualifications. Top executives constantly create jobs for their friends and focus very little on their own responsibilities. They see their jobs as a stepping stone to something else and don't care at all about the company.
