Pros

Company has deep pockets, and a desire to do the right thing, correctly. They will spend to get the result they are looking for...

Cons

...... they will support projects as long they have a profile and are "urgent".... but sometimes they are likely to drop them in favor of the next "priority".... often leaving the first project incomplete and benefits not fully realized.

Pros

Working with people of decent calibre. Rapid pay progression in the first few years when entering under the graduate scheme. Very interesting recruitment methodology.

Cons

Consensus-driven. Radical ideas or changes take time given the size of the organization. Career progression could reach bottleneck after 5 years.
