Pros

When you have your job here, you can relax most of the time. The number of employees is oversized. Nice canteen, where you can stay more than time allowed, without any problem.

Cons

No career opportunity if you don't know a politician that helps you. No "employee performance evaluations" during all these years. All the line problems are not addressed by the management to the right professionals, and you can find same problems of years ago, again and again. The company hires preferably the people that have a "raccomandation", not regarding professional skills and qualifications. When I leaved the Company, I asked them to have a so called "letter of recommendation", and they asked me they did not remember how I made my job!
