Pros

Great Pension (if you joined before 2010) and er... I'll get back to you.

Cons

Promotions take for ever and they have little faith in throwing people into a job and letting them sink or swim. They would rather send you on patronizing "development" courses for 10 years before offering you a secondment in the next role "up." They are not the best payers, in fact for some job titles they are the worst in the local area, and they think that offering a cycle to work scheme is able to offset this.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
