Pros

Great set of clients, strong brand in the market, very solid capabilities. Location ok. Solid pension contribution.

Cons

The culture is quite depressing, and leaders do not seem to care or know how to speak with people. I feel sorry for the graduates working there, work should not be this dull. Tenured lifetimers in charge of the business lacking external experience and not interested in change or upsetting the status quo.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
