      Pros

      - Good Bonus - Central Location - High floor, nice views - Everyone seems to be nice (over-pretend) - Internal mobility opportunities (especially if you have a spouse who is on GPP)

      Cons

      - Politics - Coverups (no transparency) - Certain department heads don't change even after 10 years (up to your own imagination) - High turnover rate in HR

      Good company but depends on direct team and bosses

      Pros

      Good pay, good benefits. People in general are nice

      Cons

      - Extremely political place. Need to be very careful to not step on anyone's toes. Have been blamed for things that weren't my fault on multiple occasions. - A lot of managers have been around for very long (like 10, 20 years), so they have lost touch and don't know what the working world outside is like. Results in very unrealistic and unreasonable expectations for more junior staff, very little guidance and support provided. - Work-life balance is pretty much non-existent, not enough people to support the work to be done. This is despite efforts from the top to improve WLB.

      Highly political organization

      Pros

      It is a big organization with a lot of Type A personalities - people that want to do well and keen to succeed.

      Cons

      It is a very political organization so you need to know the right people. There is a very strong sense of whether you are considered to be an "insider" or "outsider". If you are an "outsider" then you are just a hired gun - they will extract every ounce of your IP and know-how and once all your knowledge has been absorbed they have no qualms about getting rid of you.
