Pros

Stability and salary/wages are hard to beat in my area. Benefits are good.

Cons

I have a complete lack of trust in senior leaderships ability to recognize what the true organizational/process problems are and then implement meaningful, sustainable change. Regardless of what you see in the company press releases and PR, this organization has an old school leadership/management model and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
