Pros

- Good UK Pension plan - Some people are great to work with

Cons

- Constant change and restructuring - Complete divide and mistrust between leadership and everyone else - Low salaries - New job titles are demotivating and don't make any sense - The above mean good people will/are leaving and more will follow (used to be a great place to work, not anymore)
