Pros

A great place for work/life balance. You can set your own trajectory. LOTS of career opportunity.

Cons

If you are a poor engineer they will move you into program management. This sometimes works out well. Other times, not too much. Tolerate poor performers for too long.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
