Pros

safe, steady work environment with decent benefits and mostly very intelligent people as coworkers. Interesting market segment that will be very interesting to be in over the next decade.

Cons

extremely slow to change, risk adverse and recently very hierarchical. Used to be far more 'family' oriented, now much more profit oriented. Not to say any business shouldn't be profit oriented, but not at the expense of health and well-being.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
