Pros

Great development opportunities in terms of training and on the job experience. Excellent place to start a career and great work life balance.

Cons

Relatively slow organisation, but depends on business line you are in. Traditional thinking in terms of skills development, i.e. very much focussed on detailed industry skill development, generalism has become less appreciated. Young professionals are not really supported in by means of trainee programs, job progression or otherwise managed exposure.

Pros

There is a lot of diversity and growth opportunity for women. There is freedom to share ideas and voice your opinions including staff who are less experienced and even newer graduates. You can contribute and make a difference. There is flexibility at work and mutual respect. They advocate and practice work life balance. This is great when you have a family needing attention .. kids or aging parents to take care of etc.. Finally there is opportunity for growth and of course the compensation is competitive..

Cons

There are a lots of rules. . . . procedures. . . Need to follow paperwork at every stage and the procedures seem to change frequently . . . . . .
