Pros

Great development opportunities (if management likes you) Good culture (if you're in the right groups) Genuinely good support for personal wellbeing (mental and physical) Ok benefits Good variety of work (if you're in the right position)

Cons

Lots of cliques which can make it hard to progress if you're not part of those groups Pay is... lacking compared to other employers Lots of double standards (e.g., removing bonuses for all staff apart from upper management, annual wage increases below interest rates (while the CEO doubled his wages through a massive bonus))
