Pros

Good base salary, decent bonus, still have a pension plan and 401K.

Cons

No path to promotion, same directors compete to new director positions in Technology , very network oriented company vs reward on capability and experience. They killed their DEI programs and there is not a lot or none diversity people in high roles passing the G band, you can count them with one hand for a medium to large size company.
