Pros

Money Health care & pension Free Cycling changing rooms with showers. Lots of other offices making internal rotations easy. WFH options.

Cons

No work life balance. Extremely long hours and far too much overtime. Working with far too many stupid people. Really bad hiring processes. Contractors hired because they are easy to fire while waiting to find the right person. Extremely poor senior management that have no idea. Being treated like a number not a person. No exit survey because it will all be negative. No way to provide feedback which just causes the same problems to keep happening with no change.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
