Pros

Salaries are pretty high for the industry. Variety of work is challenging. Nice surroundings and facilities onsite. Flexible working arrangements are a bonus

Cons

Once you've blagged your way into the company on a high salary then you can quite easily coast under the radar. Far too many meetings Level of scrutiny over change is cumbersome and counter-productive. Offshore staff are preconditioned not to think for themselves so working with them can be frustrating. Opportunity to move up the grade structure is pretty much driven by the need to move across teams. Team-working is very combative, guarded experts making it difficult to gain knowledge
