Pros

The role is just downright bad. There is no recognition, no scope of improvement, this is just a good company where you wish to retire.

Cons

This company is just brimming with politics. If you aren't the big fish in the ocean, you will be eaten alive.

Pros

some very talented and caring employees - peers and bosses. Employee benefits are great! Good development opportunities but you have to be your own boss i.e. self-driven

Cons

Politics at senior level - Director and above, won't be fun to work for a boss you don't have a good match with working style
