Cons

horrible management bad leadership favoritism if your manager doesn't like you-good luck, Very cliquey need to brown nose often I wonder if the senior managers actually know what they are doing... Manager can also prevent you from moving elsewhere too much outsourcing so your meeting hours are off balance
