Pros

A decent salary and benefits, friendly colleagues

Cons

Some mid level managers and team leads have too much power and they use year end reviews to penalize staff for the smallest mistakes. Too much emphasis placed on new hires recruited via the graduate scheme and it makes experienced hires feel they are not valued. Too many processes to follow and this makes it difficult to get things done Too dependent on vendors to do almost everything
