Pros

I was lucky to find the best manager that I could have asked for. Good place to work if you dont fancy doing any work, simply having babies and starting a family - good mat leave package.

Cons

Paying for y our own expenses out of your pocket, regardless of how much it costs. Poor management. No people/talent development. Ancient processes. 300 years of history - still dealing with past mistakes and bad decision making. under paid against the rest of the market - you can earn more working for charity. No strategy or direction.

Pros

Still got decent benefits package, decent offices - most of them, chance to move teams, get qualifications. Great heritage(s) and lots of employee loyalty to some of the old and newer brands.

Cons

Emerged a year or so back that management had made big errors in strategy. Fixing that with new CEO has been a bit brutal with huge cuts in most areas. Cuts in benefits, wage freezes for most more work for fewer people has led to a feeling that 'it's not the same as it was'.
