Pros

Great if you like a stable job where you do your work and collect a paycheck.

Great if you like some career stability, especially if you're a middle manager.

Great if you like to parrot about 'leadership principles' while selectively fitting what works to your narrative and ignoring the best.

Great if you like giving pointless daily feedback about things that don't matter through automated surveys.

Great to pad your resume in order to score a better job elsewhere.

Cons

Pathetic benefits. Forced RTO. De-prioritizing strategic initiatives in order to solely benefit shareholders. No team events, low morale. No real all hands at most levels. Leadership does not answer questions unless they are pre-screened. Answers are corporate fluff. Large gaps between promotions.

Advice to Management

Your attempt to strive to be the best employer isn't working too well. Work backwards from the employee.
