Pros

Very nice people work there. Once you are there it is a secure position. There is some training available. As others have said, there is usually a good work/life balance. There are some very smart people hidden there. Great benefits. They seem to really want to look out for your family.

Cons

Very slow moving. It seems their answer to innovation is to acquire other companies, rather than to empower their employees to innovate. Very hard to get a change done. Multiple layers of management. I had always assumed working in govt would be similar. The flip side of it being a stable company was that there were people there that hadn't upped their skills for a while and they were there because the system let them.

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
