Pros

The money can be good and you can work from home. Large budgets for PR activities to try and raise their external profile mean you can socialise outside of the clique once in a while.

Cons

Terrible IT management who don't have a clue how to develop staff and push out new talent to make themselves look good. Training is not very structured and internal processes poor.
