Pros

Free food, which is not all that great. Monopoly position in its market helps allow for massive wastage of resources (see below).

Cons

Innumerable. Huge bureaucracy, ritualistic cult-like atmosphere, bizarre big-brother monitoring everywhere. Does everyone really need to know where and when you badged in and out? Entire teams that do little to nothing. Regular need to tell managers to pi** off when they attempt to bully you. Mind-numbingly boring work. Early 1980's technology hasn't changed a bit. And lastly, now that the owner has returned, having exhausted his political adventure, it is like Odysseus returning to Ithaca and there will be major lettings go, new joiners first.
