Pros

Not many, if I'm honest. Some of the IT team are lovely.

Cons

Please prepare yourself for expectations to be WAY beyond the initial job description, the actual job spec and what you're told during the lackadaisical approach to bringing you up to speed. Leadership (namely Service Operations) live in cloud cuckoo land and expect you to have every aspect of the company, it's culture, it's inner working and who's who to be nailed within 3 months. Also expect to be ringfenced from the business leadership - there's clearly some major issues going on within IT and the perception of the systems. The complaints are endless and they're all met with lip service and dead air.
