Pros

Financial stability - hard work is not rewarded but mediocrity is ignored. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Promotions are often delayed, and there is much ambiguity and very little structure when it comes to moving up the ladder. There is no process for career growth leading to lack motivation across the organization. If you want to be comfortable, stay here. If you want to grow, stay away.
