Pros

The healthcare benefit is really good, probably one of the best in the state. There are also a lot of opportunities.

Cons

The process of moving roles within the company is a bit dumb, to be honest. Your manager gets an email every time you apply to an internal posting, and they get to chose whether or not you're ready. A bit toxic if you ask me, and discourages employees from applying to roles they're interested in. Also, the work-from-home policies they have been having is nonsense. No body on my team wants to go back into the office, and yet upper management is insisting on returning. Also, the CEO keeps saying that everyone is asking him when they can return to the office. I'm not sure who is asking that. Furthermore, the promotion process is kind of dumb as well. Managers are hesitant to fight for their employees and act in a way to please their superiors. Also, salaries are not in tune with the market at the moment.

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.
