Pros

cushy job in general good benefits, the share purchase program is especially generous

Cons

slow-moving organisation actuarial team is too process-driven lack of respect of personal boundaries flexible working arrangement is not flexible in practice some of the bosses put on a pretense of caring about your development, when in actuality they just want to dominate and show you who is in charge. Some bosses like to micromanage--I have met at least 3 managers who are like that. Very little room for growth. I have emphasised in my Connect sessions to my superiors for 2 years that I'd want to do something new/different from my then scope of work, but hardly anything changed.
