Pros

- Good pay and benefits - Nice office - Hybrid work setup

Cons

- Office politics. Territorial culture. - Job stagnation and deskilling. - Appointments and promotions are vacancy-driven, sometimes not merit-based. - People are rewarded for compliance and staying within your own lane. Innovation is often stifled. - High performers get stuck in the same function for decades, used as a training ground, then sidelined for external hires.
