Good pay, good benefits, good 401k match. Comfy office environment. Flexible work schedules. Nice facilities. OK coworkers. Beautiful art collection. Decent training program for IT.

Cons

No oppportunity to move around internally. Easier to look for jobs outside than find something different inside. Developers have no development responsibilities. Increasingly contract focused. About 10 years behind the rest of industry in project execution practices maturity.

Pros

One day a week in the office. No weekends. Work from home 4 days. New hires do have to be in office 2 days for first year then go to 1 day a week. Benefits are good. Everyone is awesome. Really only had one supervisor who was a little on the micro managing side but they were new to it. Other than that VP don down the line to adjuster are all super nice and approachable

Cons

It’s a stress full job. I love it but it’s not for everyone. You have to be on your A game every day or you will get behind
