Pros

Company still has a defined benefit pension plan. Generous paid time off program. If you work in the right areas people have found happiness.

Cons

Company is highly bureaucratic with little ability to impact any change. Senior leadership is completely detached from front line employees. Company is aware of massive industry changes ahead but has no idea how to adapt. Staff reductions and pay cuts have become a way of doing business. Work load is concentrated on the few hard working and dedicated employees while a large number of long term employees coast along.

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
