Pros

Great benefits working for a company developing cutting edge capabilities. Good compensation and working conditions. Good consideration of work/life balance issues.

Cons

Nepotistic company with a tendency to recruit yes-men. Corporate culture that is very change averse. The "old guard" continually inhibits progress and change. Hiring technical talent from the outside is preferred to developing people and promoting from within.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
