Pros

High proportion of good quality, likeable and committed employees. Good salary and benefits. Good work-life balance and flexible working arrangements.

Cons

No career management framework - best opportunities are filled from small insider groups. Consultant-driven strategy and inward focused - 'customer' is an intellectual concept. Matrix organisation is poorly configured - decision making is slow and ineffective.
