Business Outlook
Pros
High salary. Many offices subscribe to a 9-5 day and don't expect much overtime so it can be a family-friendly atmosphere. A lot of smart, talented people. Generally thorough review process means you'll get regular feedback (even though it might not turn into any recognition for a job well done).
Cons
Very little opportunity for career advancement in a lot of groups, and unclear criteria for promotion. Top-heavy management bloat and low turnover prevents upward movement. There's a good chance your role & responsibilities will get narrower over time, rather than broader and more challenging/exciting. Expect many of your colleagues to be frustrated that they're not being used to their potential.
