Pros

Easy to WFH.

Generous benefits (used to be).

Time off limited by Mgr (sick leave unlimited, within reason).

Generally easy to float into new position during layoff.

Cons

No upward movement: Promotions blocked by poor company performance, apathetic managers, and layoffs (lateral moves only, even with stellar performance reports for years behind you).

Company politics (managers promoting each other, competing with the same kinds of solutions, backbiting after leaving a group despite stellar performance reports).

Diversity is mandatory, unless you're white (get ignored/skipped over for more "diverse" individuals in everything).

Advice to Management

Stop having so many layers of management. Nobody who actually does the work can get promoted to where they deserve to be.
