a shadow of its former self
Pros: Still generally a good (though no longer generous) employer staffed with skilled and intelligent people; operated by management as a good place to develop skills before leaving for a higher paying and/or more supportive employer
Cons: Unrelenting focus on cost reduction far beyond the point of diminishing returns; continual and ongoing takeaways for the past 25 years; highly "lawyerly" approach to communicating with employees about benefits; destructive management paradigm sometimes described as becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable; rank and file is even less impressed with senior management than senior management seems to be with us
