Capital "B" for Bureaucracy

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Overall, there are some great, talented people. They have a lot of resources and offerings. There's opportunity for internal growth, travel, or transfer.

Cons

Overly bureaucratic to the point of slowing progress to a tedious crawl. They treat people like things. So big, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle and accidentally laid off. Internal organization does not facilitate teamwork or cooperation. There's a lot of "that's not my job." No one is willing to assume risk for anything, so it means you hear "no" more frequently than "some risk, but let's figure this out."

Pros

Great conditions and benefits. Get with the right team and the skys the limit

Cons

If your area lacks good management your opportunities to advance become limited . Management engagement with employees is recognised as an area of weakness in the business. Great comms from the seniors but very poor at middle manager level
