Pros

Possible to develop emotional intelligence (basically because otherwise you would not last 2 months). Possible to learn how to manage conflict (because there is a lot of it).

Cons

This company affects your happiness. Some people get anxiety attacks and not because of the workload but because of the management. The reason this company is "doing well" is because they have a lot of market share. They got a lot of market share because they bought a big competitor that sold itself to them.

Pros

Good balance work/personal Life. Easy and not stressfull job, no competitivity among colleagues.

Cons

Middle age management. Low rates, awful management based on years on the same job instead of skills. Top educated people focused on administrative tasks. Better not to think, not to have ideas, just follow instructions. Low employees profile since they are recruited at first level entry with no additional tuition or experience. People don't want to move or improve in their careers which makes innovation impossible. There's no team work, you just obey your manager. High replacement rate in many departments when someone with ambition and eager to grow comes in. Awful psycho-social external evaluations, with high sick leave (depression).

Virtual promotion with no real day-to-day added responsibility - Very poor salary increases - In some departments, work/life balance is impossible
