Pros

Workload is manageable, and colleagues mostly try their best to help you, even if out of their workscope. Very little internal politics and there is usually no barrier to communication with superiors. Work culture is generous and happy.

Cons

Very low pay and chances of promotion is low if your superiors are unable to move up.

Pros

It's a very stable 9-5 job, if you're lucky then it's a 35hr work week. People are nice and welcoming. Great resources available and good opportunity for continuous education. Also the new Melville building is bright and clean (the walking paths are great when the weather is good.)

Cons

Teams can be extremely siloed, so are the different levels of employees and management. This lack of communication often results in project issues (that could have been easily prevented with open communication and sharing of information). Any significant change happens very slowly (lots of red tape). Not much movement and growth in terms of promotion.
