Pros

- Reasonable compensation. - Access to a number of very smart people. - Good benefits compared to competing firms. - A very good balance between family life and work life.

Cons

- Morale is poor in some areas of the firm. - At times, there is an in-congruence between internal news about our success and what we see externally.

Pros

Some good and talented people, who are usually marginalised, under-rewarded, and exploited

Cons

Current management have sacked hundreds in support roles, the number of live incidents goes up, but apparently the two arent linked ! I am off...
