Pros

Great compensation and benefits. Work life balance is nice for most programmers.

Cons

Company is outsourcing IT operations to other countries. Not much career growth unless you want to be in management. Company is slow to adopt new technologies and has many legacy applications running 10+ year old tech stacks with no plans to evolve

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
