Pros

Benefits start day one and are pretty good. Pay is reliable and on time. Managers are usually decent people, but can't do much about poor decisions my senior management.

Cons

Do not want remote workers, has been the line from HR since 2018 when I first joined. I have an ADA covered disability and it took threatening legal action to get reasonable accommodations. Also for people who have piercings and different colored hair a quote from HR, "We wouldn't not hire someone because of that, but they would have to overcome that first impression to get a position". Many fellow employees commented they had been told they had not received promotions based on their appearance. My department had mandatory overtime for well over a year because they wouldn't hire people, and it was only after talk of people ready to quit in mass that they started hiring this year. At least half of that was hiring offshore people from a vendor.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
