Pros

Everyone says the benefits because you actually (might) get a pension, but the rest of the benefits are pretty average.

Cons

People stay around for 20+ years because of the pension, but they aren't very engaged with their work. There is so much bureaucracy you can hardly get anything done and it takes forever. Rigid environment that is not embracing remote work or collaborative working tools.
