Pros

Very relaxed with great work life balance. Average salary. Very good people where everyone tries to help each other. Many indirect benefits (although consistently being reduced) One of the best pension plans around.

Cons

Pay rises are rare. Bonus is not performance linked but pool based and dependent on department heads decision. Technology is old but some attempts are being made to improve Poor developer hardware with one low quality monitor an enforced standard. Development tooling is unstable. Passive management avoids making decisions and refers to others. Large turnover of staff resulting in large loss of knowledge.
