Pros

Great benefit package, very good salary for the area I work in, great executive leadership. Lots of great co-workers and contributors.

Cons

You have to be a "favorite" to get promoted or get any sort of extra responsibilities that might lead to a promotion. I've been working here for several years but don't get any sense that my career is going anywhere - I'm just spinning my wheels. Any time I try to ask to get any extra rseponsibility or a promotion, it gets shot down before I basically even get a chance. And I am one of the top performers in my department.

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.
