Pros

Large stable company with many opportunities routinely becoming available. Many locations to work from with a lot of remote work opportunities.

Cons

Routinely putting in 12-14 hours per day for 6 days per week and still not able to keep up with the demands of leadership. Very little delegation of decision authority which requires senior management involved in almost all decisions. Very little process standardization leaving each person to figure out a solution for the first time, even though that same problem was likely resolved by a 100 other people in this company in a 100 different ways.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
