Pros
Benefit package is above average, with many paid bank holidays. Job stability is decent within some analytics teams for key employees, but you'll watch your peers leave the company due to layoffs each year.
Cons
Yearly layoffs & constant downsizing of departments with the workload constantly piled on to remaining employees. After many years, I was doing the work of 3 other employees who either quit or were laid off added to my workload. Your experience will depend completely on your manager's competency & style, but overall there is a negative management style that trickles down from the top. The general expectation is that you won't take vacation because you're doing the work of 3 employees so there is no backup or coverage to allow for time off. My manager was new to management and micromanaged every aspect of the work I did, because he was clueless about the job. A lot of emphasis is placed on annual employee engagement employee surveys where you're required to rate your manager. This process is coercive where the entire department is required to give only positive ratings. If any team member gives less than the highest rating, everyone will be required to participate in time consuming exercises for the rest of the year until the ratings improve to the correct level deemed by management. A lot of emphasis is put on fake reviews and the appearance of employee satisfaction.
