Pros

Work/Life balance is a focus. The benefits are best in class. Pay is competitive. You get a chance to work with great people.

Cons

Lack of innovation in how processes are done. Promotions sometimes based solely on time in job and not on performance. A lot of the managers are micro-managers and do not give their direct reports enough autonomy.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
