Pros

Very flexible, you can work from home as long as you get the work done. Friendly colleagues and people get on well. Big company, so you always have a chance of some interesting work.

Cons

Bad project management systems (clunky, over the top). Pretty incompetent senior and middle managers. Wonder how some people have arrived at their lofty positions. People are definitely not their greatest asset.
