Pros

It started out as a pretty good company: strong balance sheet, risk averse, somewhat cares about staff, good career progressions. Its branding and CSR are still very strong. Corporate values are still very strong, although this is constantly being diluted by new hires.

Cons

Too many new hires in middle and top management making changes they don't really understand, especially in technology. Systems are horrible because of budgetary/time line constraints, and as a result staff are overworked because of the manual workarounds that are added to address system limitations. This is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
