Pros

The workload is very manageable and you have lots of support within the project team. Hybrid is still alive and well

Cons

Unless you rescue your manager from a burning building you shouldn't expect more than 3% a year. It's an old boys club of senior staff where new members of the team are given the worse projects and churned out every few years
