Pros

Good pay, good benefits, a nice office, and nice people, mostly.

Cons

Ancient technology used by no one outside. Piles of tech debt. Overpaid, entitled middle and top managers who are so afraid to lose their enormous compensation that they tolerate zero risk and will throw anyone below under the train. A culture that prevents criticism and the slightest confrontation of ideas in any form. Constant reorgs that prevent any responsibility. Long and hard decisions by committee also prevent responsibility. Of course, this all can be tolerated for the money paid.

Advice to Management

Resign.
