Pros

Try to catch up with delivery date Old and retire age people's paradise

Cons

Crossrail is the mixture of TfL and contactor staff. Most of the key management positions are held by contractors staff. Tfl staff is treated like a second class workers because their destiny is controlled by contractors managers. Contractors managers prefer contractors staff for promotion than Tfl. No payrise or career progression for TfL staff. HR is dominated by contractors managers they too are helpless for Tfl staff. HR keeps quite and overlook internal problems to keep contractors managers happy. No good place for decent educated people. Most of the managers don't have decent education or class.

Pros

Its a great way to help the city and to work on a project of this size

Cons

Working with the IT people is torture, most are complete idiots from the director down. bad attitudes and riddled with self importance they cant even keep exchange up and running. They waste money and the CFO has not a clue what he is doing....again bad IT choices made by people without a clue while ignoring those who do know and have a clue. It pays to be in the click and completely self absorbed to get on in the IT team(s)...
