Pros
Great company to work for. Great benefits and work-life balance. If you're IT and looking to join and are genuinely interested in the science, apply for the Science functions doing IT rather than IT itself and you'll enjoy what you do.
Cons
Too many reorgs and redundancies. Gloomy atmosphere. Science IT got absorbed into 'Enabling IT' (HR, finance, procurement) and is slowly disappearing. Many IT folks who want to do anything useful are getting head hunted by the actual science part of the business, or, are applying for roles there. Too many 'shadow IT' functions coming up lately. You will just end up watching the science functions do better IT than you do.
