Pros

Products are fantastic, interesting industry with interesting challenges.

Cons

Stuck in horribly bureaucratic processes, the IT team has gone backwards over the past 3 years with no signs of this changing - despite the long term downward spiral and of recognition of the lack of progress. IT general managers promote those they know, not the best person for the job. Before I left the IT team in Auckland made 7 people redundant - 6 of 7 are women, one of whom was pregnant. I don't think this was malicious, just a clear indication of how the IT general managers cannot apply a wider lens to their decision making and there is no thought to consequences...
