Pros

Big budgets, low accountability, not held responsible for any failure you may bring and as long as you dress it up you will be promoted before found out. Great place to get your mates to give you a job regardless if you are capable Once in a role you will have a job until retirement The CIO is the worst on the planet but you can still hire expensive interims using taxpayer money and make yourself look good

Cons

If you are a taxpayer or care about having a decent railway in the UK all the 'pros' above are a con. If you are not good enough to survive in the real world come to NR and get a big salary and a big job title.
