Pros

Fancy buildings that mostly stand empty Good work/life balance

Cons

The culture is changing. In an effort to project wokeness, biases are occurring in the hiring and promotion cycle. If you are a female minority, this is the place for you. But if you are an OWM (old white male) your hiring chances or advancement are severely limited. Principal also continues to cut benefits - after a wave of cuts to the retirement plans, they have now scaled back a very popular employee stock purchase benefit.
