Pros

Nice colleagues. Good office location.

Cons

Little training after several years on the job. Unequal requests for required experience for doing the same job in different locations, e.g. London vs. Madrid. To be promoted to Commissioning Editor, I was told I needed more experience when in London, less experience was required.
