Pros

At the time, the conditions were good. I hear from former colleagues that they have deteriorated significantly. But the salary is still good, lots of holidays.

Cons

I think this work is good for people with a legal bend. It requires a lot of search in internal databases as well as external and www and communicating with applicants, mostly in written form. It is solitary work and there is little sense of belonging to a team. If you want more creative job and are not into legal side of things, this is probably wrong place for you.
