Pros

If you plan to retire within the next 3-5 years and just want to mail it in everyday - this is a great place to work.

Cons

Good old boy network - Was asked to secretly to give strategy advice to Board of Directors children to further their careers Seniority based - you will be reporting to someone with no actual digital experience, but has made the right friends within the company and has been there for 10+ years Completely Insular - they make up their own definitions & meanings for industry terminology and best practices Delusional - firmly believe they are a cutting edge health tech company, when in reality they're just another publishing company (clearly evidenced by their recent acquisition) Secretive - it' common practice for different groups to work on the same projects in secret with the hopes they get a chance to present to the CEO and get a a pat on the head. Unless of the course the project fails, in which case, they already have scapegoats lined up. Powerpoint hell - no communication can occur without a powerpoint. Powerpoints about powerpoint is quite common. More layers than an onion - You could be working on a project for months and someone from some other department could say no I don't like that (usually this person will 0 experience in the field they are commenting on) and poof just like that your project is obsolete. No one really knows how it works over there. 6-8 weeks to get a color approved for a button is the norm.
