Pros

Good Work-Life balance. Relaxed when doing poor design and architecture for 3 years (pro) and pushing hard developers to finish in 3 months (you decide here)

Cons

Management is not interested is their employees. More interested in politics and keeping their chair. Lack of IT vision. The Interesting stuff in IT is outsourced on the ground that internal developers don't have experience...never thought about talking to developers, train them or keeping them. In less than 2 years more than 4-5 team leaders in IT had resigned from my team one after another. Nobody cared why this was happening.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
