A good place to settle if you have no ambition and you just want to get a paycheck for showing up on time every day
Pros
It's stable. Once employed, if you do your work it is highly unlikely that you will be fired. Everyone is friendly. It's a relaxed and relatively non-competitive company to work in and for. The benefits package is excellent--which I did not appreciate until I left-Particularly the retirement package. You don't realize it until after that they have essentially helped force you to save for retirement so it puts you at a long term advantage.
Cons
There are few opportunities for clear growth. Professional development is not adequately supported or even understood. Direct communication is often not done--so if someone is doing bad frequently the manager will complain to everyone EXCEPT the person in question. Ridiculous. I worked on 6 different projects and saw it happen over and over again. It's a very subversive culture and unproductive.
