Pros

- Good work / life balance - Friendly people - Great pension plan

Cons

- Overly complicated processes -- like working on an assembly line -- getting things done takes forever because you need to go through 20 different specialist teams/departments -- made even worse by outsourcing more and more processes to external providers - A lot of unmotivated people that do the bare minimum to stay employed tends to be discouraging and frustrating to those who do want to do a good job

Pros

There is a lot of diversity and growth opportunity for women. There is freedom to share ideas and voice your opinions including staff who are less experienced and even newer graduates. You can contribute and make a difference. There is flexibility at work and mutual respect. They advocate and practice work life balance. This is great when you have a family needing attention .. kids or aging parents to take care of etc.. Finally there is opportunity for growth and of course the compensation is competitive..

Cons

There are a lots of rules. . . . procedures. . . Need to follow paperwork at every stage and the procedures seem to change frequently . . . . . .
