Pros

Job stablility - no ups & downs like most companies, layoffs are rare. Great benefits including a pension.

Cons

Slow, not a lot of advancement opportunities. Just wait for someone to retire and hope you can move into their position. Nothing changes - my group had been doing the same thing with minimal changes for over 20 years.

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
