Pros

Lots of job openings and the interviews are easy.

Cons

Upper management is committed to buzzwords and virtue signaling. 25% of promotions are based on sex or minority status. Productivity is low as processes as ponderous. No one has the guts to change the processes. Management does not like bad news, so telling the truth about failures, bad decisions, etc... brings about bad yearly review. Don't cross anyone that claims "victim status" based on sexual preference, race or anything else. Even when proof is shown of their unprofessional conduct they are given a pass. Projects run over by years and huge sums of money, yet the management is not held accountable. Schedules, milestones, etc... are fiction that are never meet.
