Pros

A lot of on site benefits (gym, cafeteria, lounge, etc) for Head Office staff. Good benefits and vacation package. Involved with local community.

Cons

Work/Life balance is a catch phrase more than a philosophy. Divisions are very siloed, little communication between business groups. Little ability to effect change.
