Pros

- Good work / life balance - Friendly people - Great pension plan

Cons

- Overly complicated processes -- like working on an assembly line -- getting things done takes forever because you need to go through 20 different specialist teams/departments -- made even worse by outsourcing more and more processes to external providers - A lot of unmotivated people that do the bare minimum to stay employed tends to be discouraging and frustrating to those who do want to do a good job
