Good pay / same job

Pros

Good pay (one of the highest you can find), awesome benefits (one of the best and the most comprehensive you can find), good work life balance (not the best because working from home is not allowed often). Tuition reimbursement 100% (limited to the number of classes you take per year).

Cons

The same job forever. Very difficult to move because no preference is given to the internal candidates. Promotions are only in R&D, the rest of organization does not see any. Each time they post position - they bring a pool of external candidates. Managers do not promote their employees unless you are in R&D. I have seen people stuck for 10 years not being able to move even though the company is huge.
