Pros

generally very nice people, though too many lifers and too little new blood. interesting work, if you get on the right team. there are career opportunities if you work for them

Cons

old technology, lack of innovation. management lack balls to handle tough situations or get rid of staff under-performing. Promotion often based on length of service rather than performance. No training or encouragement to self-train. Salaries and bonuses generally below standard. Cost-cutting and redundancies have led to overeall air of dejection
