Pros
It's better than flipping burgers.
Cons
A very hierarchical organization, with an incredible amount of internal politics with a bureaucratic, slow moving, top-heavy management. Senior management expects you to be deferential, conformist and the only way to get on is to suck up, Payrises are consistently below inflation. The attitude of HR is "if you don't like it you can leave" (this is a literal quote from an HR manager commenting about a group with a staff turnover of over 30%); to senior management you are simply a cog in the machinery and you can be substituted at any time (no matter how many years of experience, degrees or qualifications you may have)
