Pros

The shares and bonus you get. Also the compressed working week they do but stopping in Jan as they are making cut backs but can still afford to sponser London 2012 which is going to cost them about £40M. The xmas parties were always good but sure we probably wont be getting one of these either this year.

Cons

Having to reapply for your job each year because management want to change something and then you end up with the same job anyway. Total waste of time. The air con in the office doesn't work. the food in the canteen is gross. My manager has no people skills at all.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
