Pros

Fascinating products, international opportunities, huge variety of roles available, good benefits package, potential for long-term careers

Cons

Slow career progress for high achievers due to outdated internal processes and Trade Union rules, huge business is therefore often slow to react to the market which can be very frustrating.
