For a large company they are okay. However many people I know that work for other companies are better off.

Pros

Sick pay, holiday pay. Large knowledge base.

Cons

Not forward thinking. Not proactive. Too many managers and not enough ground staff. Seems that too many graduates with no experience are in management grades and don't know enough about how the Railway works to do the job properly.

Business Outlook

Pros

Big Organisation, with small minded poeple, work life balance ok depends on sections or function you are working with. Not the same case everywhere.

Cons

Managers remain always in fear if any ambitious professional joined his/her team they try to put you in un-necesary tasks from which you you wont come out and progress. Politics too much. You need to be yes man. Oppourtunities to grow for only few people(loved ones), who are yes mans, no professional considerations regarding your growth. Salary do not expect to grow, which will change or comfort your life.
