Pros

Very stable company with a rock solid business model. A lot of lateral movement is possible across departments. Good attitude towards professional development. Good bonus policy based on the performance of the company as a whole.

Cons

Very biased towards "long-timers". You're treated as the new kid on the block for a long time. The pay is a bit low compared to IT positions in the Boston are. A lot of levels to get through before even a simple change can be made to IT assets.

Pros

The benefits are decent with a modest pension.

Cons

Managers are less knowledgeable by the day and so are the frontline workers. There has been a serious decline in knowledge and skills over the past few years but senior management isn't doing anything about it. We assume they don't even notice. The game plan seems to be that AI will take care of everything. Good luck with that. When things start to unravel in a few years every manager will blame someone below them. Maybe then the board of directors will start paying attention to the serious mismanagement that our CEO seems so gleefully proud of.
