Pros
Some very interesting work. Educational opportunities. Good facilities and remote working. Good colleagues. Lots of new younger staff are trying to steer the company in the right direction.
Cons
Management out of touch and out of date. Programmes run to meet the next deadline/fire/alligator snapping at your heels which has led to a culture of throwing people and money at the problem along with a JFDI attitude.

Management risk losing the new younger staff or turning them into 1970's civil servants and perpetuate the cycle.
