Pros

35 hours/week, rare long hours, friendly work environment, freedom to try latest technologies on IT projects, easy access to senior managers.

Cons

Little growth in salary or job content. You may get new titles. Power may get concentrated in a few hands leading to a terrible work life. Limited career growth. Easy to get complacent and accustomed to laid back life style. In some cases, even work updates were not taken. Managers tried to avoid work as much as they could.

Pros

Work/life balance, a convenient place to cruise this is the only advantage of working here

Cons

Low pay, promotions and prospects are based on who you know not what you know, there is a real divide between sector heads and their teams and each team is managed entirely differently, there are employees who cruise and do as they wish
