Pros

- Encourage you to be lazy. - Increase your skills in powerpoint presentation. - Increase your skills in deceiving people. - Security and controls were designed to take no action - i.e. lazy. "Oh I can't do that because it doesn't meet this S&C".

Cons

- Management know 0 things about IT. - You need to keep educating your own management, which gets old quickly. - You wait indefinitely for your management to make decisions. - Your management believe and get conned by external consultants but questions everything in what their own people say. - Canned, religious agile practices which a KKK group will witch hunt you for not "believing". - You will fight to hell to do your technical work on your laptop. - No IT career path. - No true IT leaders. - You live in constant fear.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
