Pros

Not a bad company, stable, and good benefits.

Cons

Not a lot of room from growth, a lot of red tape to get anything done, and a lot of micromanagement.

Company OK - Team insular

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company with options to move about internally. Most people friendly

Cons

Most people were friendly - except the team I joined had an unwritten passmark that I could not get past no matter how hard I tried. It felt like 1 step forward 2 back (& that was on a good day!).
