Pros
Flexibility and people (that turn into life long friends)
Cons
Office politics and in some business units, there is a rapid increase on hiring externals rather than developing talent and promoting internal staff, this minimises some career opportunities for staff
Advice to Management
Develop internal talent and promote managerial positions within the group

Pros
You are working with really talented people who you can learn a lot from . There are many opportunities to get involved in projects outside of your usual scope, so plenty of opportunity to be challenged and grow. The work culture is really flexible and you are given plenty of autonomy.
Cons
As with most large companies there are a lot of processes and red tape.
