Big corporate stable job if that's for you
Pros
Stable, No pressure, salary, Benefits, relatively brain dead, someone somewhere is working on the problem you're having and probably has solved it. Great 9-5 grab the paycheck get out. On site parking if you come in early enough. On site daycare if you manage to get in. On site cafeteria with very affordable prices.
Cons
Nothing happens, no sense of making an impact internally or externally, finding someone / something is a perpetual trial by combat they've probably cured cancer in a document/confluence page somewhere, security is a darn perpetual thorn like a broken rib, 10 yrs of continuous employment before increase of PTO which is rescinded should you leave and come back, locked up in you're little silo, are you even alive? Do you even exist? The 50% retirement matching requires contributions in an RRSP. In other words, should you're RRSP be full coming in matching is unavailable to you without significant fees. Also, for those starting their career this is sub optimal use of their RRSP. Currently 3d/week office first mindset, probably more in the future. Office is far from city center, car recommended, not very bike friendly industrial area. All vegetables from the cafeteria have been boiled into oblivion.
