Pros

There are funds to do thing and there are plenty of inspirational individuals in the organisation. One rapidly gets experience that is hard to get in NGOs.

Cons

Amazing bureaucracy and a legacy of old staff who completely lack ambition. Incompetence, unethical behaviour, and waste are too commonplace - which will erode motivation for anyone who is not there to ensure a good salary and a future pension.
