Pros

Big corporate umbrella to protect you.

Cons

Too much change recently, too quickly. Seem to promote people into positions because their face fits, not because of their expertise.

Pros

Staff travel benefits. Good contractual terms thanks to trade unions. Ok pension. Generally attracts good people in terms of front line employees and up to middle management.

Cons

Senior management, leadership and directors are largely corrupt. Very toxic environment where bullying and harassment are rife. Fear mongering is common.
