Pros

Competitive pay, benefits schemes, fabulous location. Employability - if you can do it here, you can do it anywhere!

Cons

“Job for life” mentality means lots of people who’ve been in the same role for a long time and are more resistant to change than most. Excessive governance and regulation makes delivering work at pace almost impossible.
