Pros

Technically interesting work; capable people at the coalface; meaningful impact when systems align.

Cons

Highly political culture; raising safety or legal risks can be interpreted as disloyalty rather than leadership; favouritism is tolerated where optics are prioritised over capability; innovation seems to have stagnated.
