Pros

Not a lot of pressure. Some bright people. Great brand. Performs well every year.

Cons

Zero innovation. Super political, with patronage and butt kissing the way to get promoted. Performance appraisals are a real disincentive. Compared to other organisations I've worked it's a complacent, arrogant organisation that is slow to change and managed by people afraid to wreck their career by challenging the status quo. Don't work here if you want excitement!
