Pros

Lots of great work to do, and it's pretty easy going, given the timeframes available, and you get a fair bit of money and resources to play with. People are generally really friendly too, though not generally bright or talented. I would say they're mostly "average" and lack the passion to be great at their work.

Cons

There is a strict heirarchy which means its your word against your bosses, and so if your boss is a hypercritical bully, there's nothing you can do to stop it. Sure, there's "report bullying" policy, but we all know how that really works out....

Pros

real remote arrangement for most staff

Cons

There is no direction except cost reduction. While revenue is a concern, there is no general understanding on how to remove internal barriers that stop revenue from coming in. Business model is not sustainable and it is surviving by selling off asset and business at the point.
