Pros

Apart from IT the rest of the departments are good to work for

Cons

IT is a sham, slow, unresponsive and very cynical. People are not promoted for their skill and initiative and delivery capabilities. People have risen to the level of incompetence - at least they aren't doing the work which would mean certain meltdown. bordering on corrupt. Promotion is merited on being friends with the VPs If you like football and rugby you'll get on with leadership None of the VPs in tech have any qualifications in IT or anything else. If you want to feel like you are working in fiefdom and dictatorship and have a need to know what 70s style management is then join this team. Otherwise stay well clear!!!

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
