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.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
