Pros

There's very little micromanagement, so long as the work you have is getting done people are happy enough to leave you at it

Cons

Management of the company is horrible, chain of communication is non-existent for anything important, at least in IT we are constantly stumbling from one disaster to another. The company goes through a cycle of not letting IT make any sorely needed system improvements and not letting us do anything important to a massive change brought through on government legislation. The systems are so old and rigid and dense and IT has kid gloves put on it by non technical staff who think you're a baby with a gun, it's frankly a little insulting
