Pros

great benefits, still offer a pension, some freedom to move internally, able to get things accomplished

Cons

leadership moves internally too much. Benefits slowly shrinking. Pay not up to market standards. Long tenured employees slow to change or adopt new ideas. Too many IT systems that don't connect, and are no longer supported by vendors.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
