Pros
- Somewhat flexible working hours - Great work/life balance - No pressure whatsoever - Friendly co-workers
Cons
- Mindgames and politics within the department could steer your whole career in an unpredictable fashion for years - Stale management unfit for the role at their positions for many, many years - Lack of leadership by example, complex and heavy hierarchy involving a lot of corporate overhead - Large-corporation symptoms such as inertia to quick action and innovation - Serious lack of motivation in colleagues that used to be very ambitious and highly-skilled, but all drive was sucked out of them for as short as 10 years time, wearing them out and turning them into corporate drones - Lack of a clear reward system because no matter what you do you are treated as average
