A stable company to work for

Pros: Stable company, competitive salary, helpful colleagues, and a collaborative culture.
Cons: I think it varies from org to org and even group to group, but since project timelines can be long, you could get stuck doing the same thing for years. This would narrow your field of expertise and make it difficult to transition to a different role down the road.
