Pros

Great group of people who really care about their jobs, providing good quality results to the clients, etc. Department I was in had incredible steady/regular communication from senior management (see cons). Group I was in was very relaxed in terms of 'work from home' type of environment, making us all more productive.

Cons

Inconsistency across departments. Some teams were well loved; others were hated and it was a 'fear' society for the workers there (similarly, workload imbalance was crazy for some groups versus others). Reviews should also include protected peer reviews (there are some managers/VP's there who really have no business overseeing people). Finally, inconsistency in letting some employees switch groups and even offer international opportunities and denying other (long term employees) a job change - causing them to have to look outside the company for advancement. (I'd have happily stayed if I could have.)

Pros

- Work on more strategic projects - Coworkers are nice - Accelerated development because you need to pick things up quick on your own. Can be a negative for someone who can't take it

Cons

- Working hours can be brutal at times - Limited career progression. Performance management system is non existent - Politically driven due to less than perfect post merger integration - Inadequate mentorship and training - people are left to sink or swim - Senior management out of touch with reality in terms of building strategy, target setting and recruitment policy
