Cons

Not enough talent in the engineering divisions. Widespread weak middle management. Lots of talking from senior leadership about engineering excellency not translated in hiring process.

Pros

Work life balance and flexible working

Cons

No growth opportunities unless you are willing to stick around for years and years. Management and processes are extremely slow and old-fashioned. They don't care about you as an individual.
