Pros

You can sit for days and do nothing at home and nobody will object.

Cons

They have just sacked over 100 people who actually knew how to do things and left us with hundreds of people with no idea. No career opportunities for management now they've sacked over 100

Pros

Good work–life balance, supportive teammates, and stable projects. The structural engineering work is interesting enough and not too stressful.

Cons

Very slow pace, lots of bureaucracy, and projects can drag on longer than they should. Not the most exciting environment if you’re looking for fast growth.
