Pros

staff activities seem to be more than work. work life balance

Cons

layer of thick dinosaurs that resist change. you have to subject yourself to rigid stupid checks that are unnecessary and inefficient. sometimes it feels more like u are back at school you have to confine yourself to old rigid checks and procedures that somtimes make no sense. if u dont conform to an activity especially if its a co wide thing, you will be regarded as having disgraced your dept/section and ostracised. colleagues are also cold and unfeeling. some even plain rude and show no mutual respect to others. impossible to strike up any conversation unless u have been here a very long time. unless u have the thickest skin and a complete robot. or else this place will kill your initiative spirit.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
