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

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

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.
