Pros

Train travel, decent benefits, great cross section of people from all walks, good work-life balance

Cons

Unbelievably poor accountability throughout, especially in management; ultimate goal for far too many: advancing one day at a time to retirement pension; thick walls of antagonism and silence between departments

Executive level management is capricious, chaotic, and excessively ego driven.
