Pros

The benefits were solid and the stability was great, with a respectable work-life balance. The work itself felt meaningful, and most coworkers were genuinely friendly and helpful.

Departmental leadership was toxic and lacked accountability. Training was poor, there were no options for hybrid or remote work, and upward mobility was essentially nonexistent.
