Pros

Interesting colleagues who are really passionate about their craft.

Cons

Senior management doesn't have a clue, underpays their staff well below what is a fair market rate, demand absolute commitment outside of work hours, don't invest in development, don't offer any sort of incentives, don't provide the required materials to do the job correctly, and line managers don't champion their staff at all.

Pros

Great to be surrounded by fascinating objects every day. Some wonderful members of staff working there who were some of the most knowledgeable experts in their field

Cons

Lots of micromanagement and bullying in my department. I have never seen such blatant and unashamed sexism in my life before - referring to female heads of department as "jumped up secretaries" and phrases such as "girls can't phone bid" is not acceptable. Neither is groping your female employees. Training was almost non existent and the pay was deplorable.
