Pros

Good social fund with plenty of events Friendly people Can get involved in other work if you push hard enough

Cons

Can be very clicky. If you're not pally with certain people it can limit your opportunities Witnessed people get involved in work with other teams then are totally glossed over when a position on said team opens up
