Pros

- Great in terms of reputation and prestige. Significantly increases your employability after working here. - Everyone is switched on so it helps you to always stay on your toes and work at a high performing level.

Cons

- Progression is slow to non existent depending on what area you’re in. A lot of it is dependent on politics regardless of your competency. - Pay is pretty bad for a huge name unless you are in C suite, in which case, “Millionaire’s Factory” is appropriate but for most people, don't even expect salary to keep up with inflation. - Lack of flexibility with work arrangements even if you are in middle or back office.
