Pros

Good training opportunities, and my team help regular best-practice sessions, which seemed to be a bottom-up initiative. Flexible working hours was good for work-life balance.

Cons

Hard to move between business units - you get pigeon-holed pretty early on. IT systems were slow and backwards - still needed to fill out a lot of paper forms that could be done online. Not enough support staff, and average offices. Got the feeling the company wasn't really trying to do anything great, just ticking along on average, low risk projects, in order to keep their risk-averse shareholders happy.
