Pros

Nice people, fairly stable company. Generally not as high burn as technology. It is a “fine” place to work.

Cons

Pretty political and going through major organizational design where you can’t get promoted unless someone quits or gets fired. No real upward career path past the Director level. Everything moving to low cost locations and flattening, talent is slightly above middle of the pack.
