Pros

Good salary for an IT person

Cons

Managers are spending most of their time creating administration overhead, justifying this way their existence. For each task, one has to follow so many rules and procedures, which often contradict each other. Failing to comply any of them, will draw upon you a witch-hunt storm. Frequent uncompensated overtime is implied.
