Pros

Family friendly. Some very good people [who sometimes don't hang around]. Decent work life balance. Industry-matching remuneration. Job movement is easier to new roles via a transition process. More global than competitors.

Cons

Still operates in its divisional silos. Senior management too accountant-heavy meaning the focus is on costs and not revenue. A fair number of middle managers managing upwards. Pockets of intense work can sit right next to under-performing teams. A lot of wasted energy on pet projects that don't eventuate. Overall package [ex remuneration] is not overly attractive.
