Pros

Great benefits, opportunities to move up and over, career development is quite possible

Cons

When they don’t have together, it’s quite obvious. Working with other sectors (under the same company umbrella) is often like working with your enemy. It’s really unfortunate how competitive and cruel the cross sector relationships can be.
