Pros

Working for a secure market leading company Developement of staff used to be industry leading Can progress to senior roles relatively easily.

Too much outsourcing and senior management constantly making job cuts as a way of keeping on or cutting budgets If they get their head counts right, stick to it, dont decide to cut more staff as a result of needing to keep to budgets.
