Pros

Decent work life balance and benefits package. A nice place to work in the short term but not one for settling into.

Cons

Continuous restructuring over a 10 year period , constant insecure feeling that you could loose your job. Four Managing Directors in that time all tasked with a major restructure activity and then all leaving UK to go to US head office.
